Well's Time Machine written back in 1895.   "Only Time will tell" how much we find out about this topic in the future (pun).

As did Philip Dick. Did you enjoy the Sci Fi Channel's minseries of  <em>Dune</em>? I like it much more than Lynch's plodding film version, though Patrick Stewart was great as Gurney, obviously. Okay, so I am jazzed that there will one day be stillsuits that I can use while hunting for meteorites in the desert, but where is my ornithopter?  : )  Cheers -- LL p.s. Did you know there is Tucson rock band named Stillsuit? Dear Pablo: What a terrific piece about Dune, and how exciting that the great Frank Herbert predicted the future so well. As did Philip Dick.

Van Vogt and Clifford Simak are also at the top of my list, along with—OF COURSE—the mighty Philip K. Dick. But anyone who puts Doug Adams and the <em>HHG</em> at his #2 is tops in my book (cheers Pablo!). Ditto for the <em>Ender's Game</em> series and <em>Dune</em>. <em>Dune</em> is not only one of the greatest S.F. epics ever, it is one of the greatest <em>epics</em> ever written, regardless of genre. Frank Herbert read <em>two hundred </em>books while studying desert ecosystems and cultures for background material. Now that is research. No wonder <em>Dune</em> is so engrossing. Cheers -- LL p.s. And let's please not forget <em>Neuromancer</em>. Oh, and Joe Haldeman's <em>The Forever War</em>. OMG and Alfred Bester—a science fiction writer <em>so</em> great in influence that he had a charcater on <em>Babylon Five</em> named after him! How cool is that? Okay, I'll stop for now. Thanks for the terrific list Pablo. That generated a lot of comments! I am jealous : ) Comrades: I agree that Heinlein will always be welcome on my Top Thirty list (yay for Friday, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and especially the little-known Door Into Summer) but then I am a Golden Age of Science Fiction nut, so A.E.
