Fredrik Pohl paid Harlan Ellison to finish the classic horror scifi story "I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream". This knowledge has made my day!

Pohl's influence on relevant current day is vastly underappreciated. The authors of series cite him as a major influence, yet his works on GoodReads don't get read as frequently as other Scifi authors. Please, read more Fredrik Pohl!

Awesome series of books! Humans got out into the asteroid belt and discovered that one asteroid held an abandoned station with lots of ships of various sized. No instructions of course and if you try to take them apart they blow up. So volunteers have been trying various combinations of settings and travelling out and sometimes back. Sometimes they find thing, sometimes not so it's exploration by randomly guessing. Well written, excellent characters, you'll love it.

(Frederik ) - An alien race called the Heechee left hundreds of working starships on a local asteroid with no instruction manual. Human prospectors roll the dice and take them on missions that are as likely to kill them as to pay off with jackpot science bonuses.

Jack 's series is non-military
space -archaeology on doomed worlds usually done by space tourists on style space yachts in the wrong place at the wrong time. Several stories connected in the timeline.

Stephen Baxter's series is HARD scifi .

Fredrik 's series (specifically ) inspired .

Article about a therapy startup using for monitored online therapy responses until patients discovered artificial empathy felt weird.

Fredrick wrote the 1977 award winning dystopian book , which featured a suitcase psychiatrist talking to the protagonist about trauma caused by hellish space capitalism.

STEM majors and tech startups, stop emulating DYSTOPIAN fiction, JFC!

@eric Gatwway not all app economy space adventure, half of it is a therapy session with an Alexa, but it was written in 1977!

's Space Merchants is a biting satire of future consumerism and is influential in literature as well.
