    I haven't actually got round to reading it yet but apparently Dune is really good. And I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but according to a French project I did once, Jules Verne is supposed to be one of the 'pioneers de la genre science-fiction' (20,000 Leagues under the sea, Journey to the centre of the Earth etc)

    Arkady and Boris Strugatsky books are also very good. One of their most famost works is Roadside Picnic, which I still haven't read.

    I'm curentlly reading their Escape Attempt and really good....

    I have to give my thumbs up to Snowcrash--it's one of my favorites. I'd also recommend _Starship Troopers_ and _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_ by Robert Heinlein, both are classics. Don't forget Ray Bradbury, Robert Silverberg, EE "Doc" Smith, and tons of other classics.

    There's a really good 5G SciFi ebook torrent up on TPB right now, over 100 seeders.

    I read a Stranger in a Strange Land over 40 years ago and still recommend it .Its by Robert A. Heinlein and won many awards . Written in the 1960 's I think ,I was just talking about this with a workmate who's a Sci-Fi nut too .
