I think Bezos may be premature and excessive.

Do you like classical #ScienceFiction?

The #InternetArchive has a great collection you can download!

I highly recommend A Logic Named Joe by #MurrayLeinster, one of the great unsung #SF writers.

This book is a beater but still a treasure. That's the way it goes, sometimes. I may keep it. Sci-fi by authors you might not expect, plus known entities of the genre and then some!

For #InternationalTalkLikeAPirateDay , one of my fave pirate images: the cover for Murray Leinster's space pirate tale in Astounding Science Fiction, artwork by Kelly Freas. I especially love the slide-rule in his mouth instead of a knife!

Un Logico chiamato Joe (A Logic Called Joe), 1946

Racconto scaricabile (vedi sotto).
Nel *1946* l'autore immagina un futuro dove in ogni casa c'è una periferica "intelligente" che risponde pescando le informazioni nella base dati generale, ed è soggetta ad alcune restrizioni. Quando saltano le restrizioni...
Vi ricorda qualcosa? 😉

The Invaders is a 1953 scifi novella by Murray Leinster. It's an alien invasion story. The aliens look just like us. A cliched idea but with some nice twists and some real ambiguity concerning the motivations of the aliens. It's pretty good.

My review: https://vintagepopfictions.blogspot.com/2023/03/murray-leinsters-invaders.html

I'm a sci-fi fan but my tastes are strictly old school. I don't read anything written since the 90s. And not much written since the 60s, apart from some of the cyberpunk writers.

One of the first sci-fi novels I read was Arthur C. Clarke's The City and the Stars and I still regard it as one of the half dozen best sci-fi novels of all time.

Some writers I like -
