Since nothing in this community is about technology we might as well talk about science fiction. (lemmy.world)

All the stories on the FP are about labor relations and corporate shenanigans. So anyway, do you like Star Trek or Star Wars better? Anybody still ike to read old school sci fi, for example I really love Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League stories - the swashbuckling adventures of intersteller trador Nicholas van Rijn and his Solar Spice and Liquors company, David Falkayne, et al. Good old basic space opera.

Poul Anderson mentioned 🗣️ 🗣️🗣️

He and H.Beam Piper are my favorite SF writers, be sure to check Three Hearts and Three Lions, the book where the hero solves fantasy problems with Science(tm).

I've never heard of HBP, will take a look.

He's fun reading, though being a woman I also find his stuff kinda sexist. It's basically cowboys in space.

I mostly read sci-fi from the late Golden Age and the New Wave, so I have a lot of practice in glossing over questionable bits!

Cowboys in space sounds fun.

The Little Fuzzy books are some of my favorites.

In my late 20s at a sci fi con, a friend came up and said, "Here's someone I'd like you to meet," and suddenly I was face to face with Poul Anderson. He was one of my idols - I had read the crap out of his work for years and years. I was so gobsmacked all that came out of my mouth was, "How do you say your first name?" Worst fail of my life.
