Can anybody recommend some great sci-fi material, both in film and literature?
When i was kid i read tons of sci-fi, most of it from borrowed books or from some cheap series of science fiction novels you could buy where magazines were sold.
It's been a while since i read any of it, but now that i have a job, i was thinking about building a proper library, perhaps with a more discerning attitude as i no longer have the time (or patience) to squander on mediocre reading material.
So far i acquired a few books by Asimov and Phillips **** (mostly collections of short stories), as well as the first volume of Dune, but short of buying more stuff by those authors, i have no idea where to go from there.
As for films, i've seen pretty much almost all the 'sci-fi' stuff from the 80s ( Alien, Terminator, Tocal Recall), a lot of which are not even real science fiction and some of them fall short of being decent movies to begin with (Star Wars and derivates in particular).
