Welcome! This is a group for discussion of hard SF, such as books by Greg Benford, Greg Bear, Stephen Baxter, Larry Niven, Alastair Reynolds, Vernor Vinge and so on. This is a type of SF that lends itself particularly well to discussion, with some of the greatest ideas, imagination, and originality in fiction. All discussion of SF is welcome, as well as a Book of the Month discussion, of a book nominated and voted for by the group.
