Why are you still wasting time on boring shit that dulls the mind, Veeky Forums?
I kind of understand your reasoning but for me it was the opposite. I read both Dune and Hyperion and both were shite and since those are regarded as the great SF novels I discarded the entire genre. I still like some P.K.Dick novels although I wouldn't classify him as strictly SF.

>that ugly fucking picture with its terrible color economy Why was 70s sci-fi so bad?
Jaxon Bell
the only science fiction I like is either Vonnegut or the occasional well-done short story
Even when I was younger I couldn't stand reading sci-fi and thought it was boring, preferring fantasy over it, but to each their own.

David Cruz
I think you mean fantasy.
Sci fi novels are just based on threadbare philosophy with wooden one dimensional good guys taking down the even more wooden and one dimensional baddies because because muh bringing morality to muh universe.
Grayson Wood
Compared to any literary fiction.

No feels in this book, or Ulysses. You might enjoy Kafka and Borges, too.
