The Evolution of Science Fiction discussion

This month's nominations are for the period 1990-1999 and can be for a sci-fi novel or set of short stories. Nominations can be for any book that has not been previously read by the group, these can be found here . One nomination per person please.

Donnerjack by Roger Zelazny & Jane Lindskold. It wasn't published until after his death & is a very strange trip between a haunted Scottish castle & virtual reality.

Donnerjack sounds bizarre, but interesting!

I'm nominating The Difference Engine by William Gibson again, seeming as it didn't get group read last time round and I didn't get around to reading it either...

I nominate Buddy Holly is Alive and Well on Ganymede

I nominate "To Say Nothing of the Dog".
Never read it, but it sure seems interesting.

I would like to nominate The World at the End of Time.

I'm gong to nominate Metropolitan by Walter Jon Williams

I thought this one looked interesting: The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. It won a host of awards circa 1998 and, as it has both religious and extraterrestrial connections, might be a good sci-fi read circa Christmas time.
