Geoff,

Can you recommend any hard sci-fi graphics novels? transhumanism issues, true AI, and such? Im thinking Ghost in the Shell, perhaps 2001 Nights etc.

Cheers.

Geoff,

Your picture immediately made me think of a pirate (except, of course, that the cat on your shoulder would be replacing the archetypal parrot). Were you, by chance, a buccaneer of sorts in some past life?

How can you have such a fine Michael Moorcock selection and not include the "Dancers at the End of Time" trilogy, my vote for best SF trilogy ever? Afterwards, read Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence" and see if you note any parallels.

While we have a decent amount in common, bookwise, at least, I notice you haven't got anything listed by Cordwainer Smith. This is a classic author that should be included in just about any serious SF collection. He's mostly out of print these days, bu he floats around the second hand market every so often, and should be available on Amazon, especially The Rediscovery of Man.

You might also like Theodore Sturgeon and William Tenn, if you haven't come across them already (didn't get a chance to check them).

Nice collection.

It appears that you have fantastic taste :)

another recommendation for you: 'looking for the mahdi', by christopher hall.
very simple, very well-told story, with all of the 'usual' sci-fi/thriller things
but also some twists in it.
other authors have done most of the themes in this book a hundred times, but i particularly liked 'looking for the mahdi' and the way that it covered them.

I think Tim is eventually going to do something to allow contents cataloguing of magazines, anthologies and short story collections. I'm hoping that solves all my problems.

As for magazines - now that I have done my Asimov's, Analogs and F&SFs I can start on the Interzones and the few issues of other stuff I have around as well as filling in the contents for the few books I haven't done yet.

Hi Geoff - have you read Jon Courtenay Grimwood? You don't seem to have his works in the stuff you share with me. If not I would recommend starting with Pashazade which is the first of a trilogy.
