[LM_NET] HARD (REAL) SCIENCE FICTION

[Bob Hicks <bob.hicks@USD470.COM>]

Someone posted the comment that implied not much "Hard core" science  
fiction is published today.  I don't believe that is true but agree it  
is presently overshadowed by fantasy.  Here are some current "hard"  
SCI FI authors (many are scientists themselves) and recent titles.

Note: For schools, it helps having a strong "science" dept. and good  
relationship with the science teachers.  Don't forget the "Hugo" &  
"Locus" awards.

Stross, Charles--Accelerando, Palimsest
Hamilton, Peter F.--Pandora's Star, Judas Unchained
Egan, Greg--Schild's Ladder, Incandescence
Vinge, Vernor--Rainbows End
Nagata, Linda--Limit Of Vision
Robinson, Stanley--Mars trilogy
Banks, Ian M.--Matter
