This is a link post All You Zombies
So i was watching a film called Predestination a while back and I found out it was based on this short story. The time paradox made my head hurt a little (the drink had nothing to do with it). I think some of you may enjoy it

Its a tricky one to get your head round, but its only a short story.
I love his books.

'Rolling Stones' is a good short one to start, proper 50's perspective that people would soon live on the moon. Also 'Man Who Sold the Moon'
'Roads Must Roll' is even shorter, about trade union action.

I won't be reading 'Time Enough For Love' or 'To Sail Beyond the Sunset' again because the incestuous bits made me uneasy. So read anything of his but avoid those! (unless you like that sort of thing)

Try P K Dick`s short stories and novellas if you want tricky then
Harlan Ellison is another one, as is original pulp editor/writer/ talentspotter/teacher Fred Pohl.
.
Heinlein did too kiddy stuff like starship poopers that even when I was 7 yrs and allowed to to use the senior library was not really readable as a grown up book for me even then, Stranger in a strange land was something I remember.

The depiction of sex in SF is usually clunky and homespun 1950`s unless it is very odd " rishathra" or marginal, " I have no mouth and my scream" or dangerous visions : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_Visions.

Good short stories do make you do the work and think. The original short that total recall is based on is only 3 pages (4 in standard PB format?) and much better pictures than the film!!

This is a normal post I watched that last night and thought it was rather predictable bumwash.
Watched Fury too (on that Rainierland site) and it was ace. Lots of 'splosions.
