Ten modern must-read sci-fi masterpieces

,

Josh Tyler, Steve West and Cali Hicks posted their list of 10 modern SF masterpieces at Giant Freakin Robot yesterday. By modern they mean the works published after 1980. Their list is quite different from the Wired list I re-posted here on 23 October. So, as you may already know, being a list afficionado bigsmile I just had to re-post this one as well. Ok, here we go again
  • The Dark Tower (1982 - 2004), 7 novels by Stephen KING
  • Neuromancer (1984) by William GIBSON
  • Ender's Game (1985) by Orson Scott CARD
  • The Liaden Universe (1988 - 2010), 9 books by Sharon LEE and Steve MILLER
  • Hyperion Cantos (1989 - 1997), 4 novels by Dan SIMMONS
