from what i've seen, probably asimov. i don't think hard sci-fi would be what it is today without him.

He loses points because his son is a pedo

Typical for someone of his kind. His father notoriously couldn't keep his hands to himself. Their kind are all sex-pests.

Never really read asimov except for listening to an audiobook of the Foundation. It was okay but nothing remotely as good as something as Childhoods End by A.C.Clarke for example.
To me the Strugatski brothers wrote by far the deepest most philosophical sci fi put there, they're just too deep for stupid movie adoptions that's being shilled as praised by the Hollywood media machinery we all live in.

Asimov wasn't a great writer of people or of narrative structures. His longform works tend to drag on as a result. He excelled in short stories and premises, mixing genres and coming up with astounding ideas that one scarcely could believe was possible to think up, before reading them. This is why he's fundamentally unadaptable as a writer. A Hollywood script writer would try to find character development that simply does not exist within his works, and, failing that, will write his own into the narrative, in utter detriment to the premise: the core strength of Asimov's corpus.

Lem mogs Asimov on all levels

lol
lemme guess, you didn't like Necromancer and English is your second language

>>21320366
Never liked Asimov. PKD is my fav.

>>21320953
I love 'Neuromancer' and nope. Rather ironic considering Asimov is an ESL

This. I like Asimov but I can see why most people don't. He was a pioneer in hard sci-fi but certainly doesn't hold up to many other writers in retrospect. On the other hand I feel like Ray Bradbury, my favorite author of all time has the exact opposite strengths and weaknesses. Harlan Ellison is also famous but he just feels like a lesser Bradbury but pissed off all the time.

He moved to the usa at three, mong.

>>21320960
Have you read Time Machine? Because you should. First time he clicked with me and I love PKD.

>Time Machine
I checked and did not find anything with that title by Asimov. I only know of The Time Machine by Wells and I remember liking it a lot.

Well shit guess I look pretty stupid now. Nevermind me.

Presently, this man is making sci-fi cool again 36 years after his death.

Larry Niven and HP Lovecraft have the best alien designs.

>>21325337
Who?

The Father

whoa

This is AI generated garbage but if you are looking for stories with the same dark sci-fi art style check out heavy metal magazine. I especially like simon bisley. 2000AD is also good.

>>21325337
I wish, but Villeneuve's screen adaptation was disappointing, I doubt that part 2 will even reach the moderate hype status of the first one.

Old sci-fi is all trash.
