Do you like Jules Verne and H. G. Wells? I don't see them discussed a lot here. I really liked the Time Machine.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 25 08:29:28 2020 No.15447479 I also liked both when I was a kid, I preferred Wells for having the greater imagination and considering social and psychological consequences of his ideas, though he is less 'hard' science fiction than Verne, for sure.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 25 08:39:22 2020 No.15447530 >>15447390 yes. Wells is one of the greatest speculative fiction authors. he was also a freethinker, an advocate of free love, wrote about class struggle, and interviewed Stalin. what a fucking boss

>>	Anonymous Mon May 25 10:12:59 2020 No.15448042 >>15447390 I read 20,000 leagues under the sea expecting swashbuckling undersea adventures. I got it, but it was vastly overshadowed by taxonomic autism.
