Reading and watching Science Fiction

I have rekindled recently with reading Science Fiction books, in great part because I discovered ( probably a bit late compare to everyone else ), this "weird" author that is China Miéville.
So far I devoured "Embassytown" and "Perdido Street Station". The universe he described are something I rarely seen before, mixing steam-punk, with insects and other weird world descriptions, pulp, horror.

List SF authors and books  which had the most influence on me:


  • Jules Vernes: 20000 miles under the sea but more importantly Robur the Conqueror.
  • Philip Kindred Dick: The Man in the high castle, Dr Bloodmoney, Time out of JOint
  • Frederic Brown: Martians Go Home, What Mad Universe
  • H.P.Lovecraft
  • Richard Matheson: I am a legend
  • John Brunner: Stand on Zanzibar
  • Robert A. Heinlein: Starship Troopers
  • Arthur C.Clarke
  • A.E. Van Vogt
