Yeah, I think they cut off a bit early; while we might way to wait on discussing authors works for whom the author is still writing new books; series likes Hitchhiker's Guide; Pern; and even (sadly due to his recent death a couple years back) Disc World would be great for a future season and wouldn't need to wait a decade if it focused on the early books within the series.

It's a shame that you guys stopped doing this series. I've tried looking and there's nothing else quite like your dive into the history, timelines, and influence of the genra. While I left because of some decisions you have made clear in previous videos, this series was always brought me back. After getting a job as a librarian I came back to brush up on it and record books and authors for future reference. I do hope you guys decide to start this again, I was so looking forward to an episode on Gene Wolfe.

[@RomanNardone]

Just some books/authors that were mentioned but not the major theme that are fantastic: Snowcrash and the diamond age by Neal Stephenson The ender saga by Orson Scott card Parable of the sower by Octavia Butler I welcome all other recommendations!

[@aaronkitzmann9419]

Roman Nardone Yeah the Ender saga is great, despite it’s creator’s homophobia.

[@stephanieaensland6520]

William Gibson and Bruce Sterling's "The Difference Engine" deserves some more attention as a fascinating concept of "retro sci-fi" that (I think) propagated the steampunk sub-genre.

[@autolykos9822]

+1 for the Ender Saga (and Shadow Saga). I can also recommend pretty much anything by Stanislaw Lem (they showed some of his books but never mentioned him). I don't think Solaris is his best work, though - it is only the most well known because of the two movies. If you're looking for something to get started on him, I'd pick up "The Star Diaries", "Fables for Robots" or "The Cyberiad" if you like lighthearted short stories, pretty much any of the novels (like "Eden" or "Fiasco") for more classic SciFi, "Memoirs Found in a Bathtub" for Kafkaesque dystopia and "Golem XIV" for deep philosophy. (he also has some short stories that are mostly making fun of mismanagement in the Soviet Union, like "Invasion from Aldebaran" and "The Usefulness of the Dragon")

[@deaconlasagna8570]

This series was excellent, Thank you for all of your work. You introduced me to Olaf Stapledon and Starmaker, which is one of the most important books I've ever read. You rekindled my love for Mary Shelley and you got me to finally read Paradise Lost, another of the most important things I've read. My only regret is that you never mentioned Clifford Simak or City, (there might have been a visual reference but i don't recall) and I sincerely hope that James reads it if he hasn't because it is one of the most moving works of classic sci fi I've ever encountered. Thank you all again.

You have sparked several big ideas that I'd like to explore further in my own writing, both in tabletop RPGs and in my book. I'd say "keep up the good work", but I know for sure that you will. Have a great day, week, month, year and a decade!

[@Rayalda]

Awwww, Extra Scifi was my favorite EC show. The "Forgotten Foundation" season was, in my humble opinion, some of the strongest EC work you have done. I'll definitely give Extra Lit a shot - hopefully with Extra Lit you will go back to the slightly longer format (~10 minutes/episode) of earlier seasons, because those few extra minutes really gave the videoes Extra Depth.

This was an amazing series. It introduced me to so many good books. You guys should do something similar in the Fantasy/Epic Genre. Anyway, looking foward for the Extra Literature!

[@Imperiused]

If anyone is looking for some sci fi to read, I suggest the Wind-Up Girl. Its quite relevant - especially as we listen to news about the coronavirus in China. I've also read Never Let Me Go, which I can also recommend. Keep in mind its very low sci-fi, and more focused on the emotional journey of its characters, so it won't scratch that itch if you're looking for cool future tech or speculative fiction. Both these recommendations are classified as biopunk, which is my current favorite subgenre in science fiction.
