  • Science Fiction and Astronomy
    Sci Fi Science Fiction and Astronomy Many science fiction books include subjects of astronomical interest. Here is a list of some that have been recommended to me or I’ve read. I expect that most are not in the University library but many are available in Kindle and other e-formats. At the top of my list is a URL to a much longer list by Andrew Fraknoi of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Each title in his list has a very brief summary indicating the kind of story it is. Andrew Fraknoi’s list (http://www.astrosociety.org/education/resources/scifi.html). Gregory Benford is a plasma physicist who has been rated by some as one of the finest observes and interpreters of science in modern fiction. Note: Timescape [Vista, ISBN 0575600500] In the Ocean of Night [Vista, ISBN 0575600357] Across the Sea of Suns [Vista, ISBN 0575600551] Great Sky River [Gallancy, ISBN 0575058315] Eater and over 2 dozen more available as e-books. Stephen Baxter Titan [Voyager, 1997, ISBN 0002254247] has been strongly recommended by New Scientist as a tense, near future, thriller you shouldn’t miss. David Brin has a PhD in astrophysics with which he brings real understanding of the Universe to his stories. The Crystal Spheres won an award. Fred Hoyle is probably the most famous astronomer to have written science fiction. The Back Cloud [Macmillan, ISBN 0333556011] is his classic, followed by A for Andromeda. Try also October the First is too late. Larry Niven’s stories include plenty of ideas inspired by modern astronomy.
