hay thought it might be a good idea to see what sort of stuff people are reading on ATS and see if we could get down a list of essentials.
personly i've just finished 'in search of shrodingers cat' its a bit old now but a definitive guide to quantum mechanics and related ideas. im also
starting a trawl of asimov's stuff.
Thanks for the replies, im glad my first thread hasnt been a total flop. Im a big SF fan but prefer it at least slightly realistic rather than
fantasy crazy my top authers are probably ian m banks, alister reynolds and ken macleod.
