      67/ Startide Rising, David Brin Brin might have been a complete cock the one time I met him, but his Uplift universe was great. Galactic civilization, gene hacking animals to give them intelligence ( this is the trope I stole for the Dogs in my novels ).

      68/ Singularity Sky, Charles Stross A future warblogger encounters omnipotent AI, time travel, posthumans, and more. Stross dumped 20 years of ideas into this + sequel, and it's overflowing. avoid Accelerando (the economic ideas of which I mock in passing in my novels)

      69/ Fallen Angels by Niven, Pournelle, and Flynn Lightweight fan-service, hitting all of the "rah, rah SCIENCE!" and "space travel good, greens bad!" talking points of the in crowd...but fun, if you like that sort of thing.

      70/ Eifelheim, by Michael Flynn A medieval European village encounters cross-universe travelling aliens. Philosophy, science, and theology ensue.

      71/ The January Dancer, Up Jim River, etc. by Michael Flynn Small scale interstellar spy adventure, set in a background that explicates Flynn's great ideas about cultural evolution, facts becoming narrative becoming myth, and the fragility of the scientific method

      72/ Ship of Fools, Richard Paul Russo. A slow scale disaster on a large space ship, as human nature does what human nature always does: destroys us by our own hands.

      74/ Ecotopia, by Ernest Callenbach. More or less created the modern left-environmentalist Cascadia secessionist movement. Certainly an influence on the later Pacific Edgehttps://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1331346992849620998 …

      39/ Pacific Edge by Kim Stanley Robinson. Part of a triptych of three novels, each set 30 years in the future in the same California town, but in three very different futures.

      75/ Foundation by Isaac Asimov Asimov's reputation diminishes as time passes, for 2 reasons, 1 good, 1 bad. The valid reason is that his stories were so so and his characters were cardboard. The invalid reason is the "trope creator" problem - seems old hat bc he CREATED stuff

          It's exactly this sort of thing: something that, when you experience it, you think "what a cliché!" ... but in fact, it is the reason for which the cliché exists.
