Classics of the 80s
Joan D. Vinge; 1980
The story plays on a planet full of different clans, soldiers, oracles and more. A very vivid story full of suspence.
Clifford D. Simak; 1980
A strange old house and its sole inhabitant is a way station in an alien transportation grid.
C. J. Cherryh; 1981
Cherryh uses many different characters to tell his stories. Tense women and men carry the story
Isaac Asimov; 1982
The first comeback novel of Asimov in the 80s. He begins to connect the Robot and the Foundation stories.
William Gibbson; 1984
Gibbson never said that he had invented the cyberpunk or cyberspace or that he new a lot about computers, although his novel was one of the most influential of the 80s. Many stories are told about Gibbson, one of them is that he might have written the novel on an old travel-typewriter. Nevertheless, the novel, which tells about living computercode and the presence of a cyberspace, is well written and modern.
Orson Scott Card; 1985
Ender is a kid, and a genius. People try to use him as a military commander: he plays games, or, at least, he thinks he does. The first book of a trilogy also containing Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide.
David Brin; 1987
A race seeds different species on many planets. But one of these species couses trouble. They are, of course, us. It is the first novel in the uplift-series.
Dan Simmons;1989
Simmons tells the story of intelligence, life and destruction through a mysterious being: the shrike! A small group of humans make an interesting journey.
