Ed_McCarron:
Gotcha.

Plausible future scenario - SF.

So, are bug-eyed green aliens plausible future?   HHGG, for example.  Tech, aliens, and beer.  Would you label it SF if it wasn't for that damn babel fish?

saint:
Entirely Sci-Fi. :)

Cakemeister:
Battlefield Earth is an awesome book, which I have read multiple times.

Just don't see the movie.

Also, don't look at who wrote it. :)

Has anyone mentioned David Brin's Startide Rising? I don't think the science in it is plausible, but it's a great story.

Startide Rising and the entire Uplift series is excellent work.

Singapura:
Battlefield Earth, i.m.h.o. is an awful book full of one dimensional characters. It tries to be epic but utterly fails to be convincing. If you really want epic SF literature, read Dick or Asimov. I wonder if the first authors name gets through the auto censor?
