Re: Your favourite Sci-Fi Author(s)

Of course, the book is much better than the film -which itself is not a bad movie.
Same goes for Minority Report. The book was also from Philip K. Dick and it's plot is a lot better then Tom Cruise playing with wooden balls.
Philip K Dick and Asimov or two of my favourites.

Re: Your favourite Sci-Fi Author(s)

minority report was indeed a good movie, as was i robot.
of course, in almost all cases the book is better - it has the time to devote to the details - movies are quick entertainment.

Hmm.. I don't have a favorite author.
But, my favorite show is Star Trek!
