This looks very cool! I've heard of S.T.A.L.K.E.R but never realized there was a book. Thanks for the recommendation :D

Thanks for the non-english recommendations! Jules Verne was mentioned elsewhere in the thread so I'll have to check out his work. Great opportunity to brush up on reading French too :D

Lots of people recommending Stanislaw Lem. I'll add him to the list. Thanks for the rec!

Unfortunate about Lukyanenko's comments nowadays but I might still check out the books because they sound interesting! Maybe I'll avoid buying copies of those though. Thanks for the rec!

I've been meaning to read the Metro books! Loved the games but never got around to reading the source material. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks! What don't you like about Risto Isomäki? This is the first I've heard of them.

Ordered the next book. I'll check out Banks as well. Thanks!
