The SF (as in literature) thread
Ummon:
Just as preliminary, SF is not Star Wars or BSG or Terry Goodkind, etc. Those are sci-fi and fantasy, respectively.
So, currently I'm reading a novel called Spin (published in '05) by Robert Charles Wilson. I'm almost a hundred pages into it and the only 'action' there's been was a childhood bike accident. Wilson, at least in this story, is interested in the characters in an old-school fashion. This book so far is perhaps in the vein of To Kill A Mockingbird, etc, except that the time is around now or soon in the future and there are scientific descriptions and explanations of the elements that are 'the conflict'.
It's pretty decent. There's definitely a craft in the story-telling, the characters are real, and for the most part the science looks right.
Singapura:
If you like reality grounded SF, read Jame5 by Stefan Pernar. It's free to download from the writer's website. Very thought provoking stuff about technological singularity.

Not being in the know, I'm trying to figure out what the hell SF means here.
