The Day You Discard Your Body, by Marshall Brain:
"Stop for a moment and think about your favorite science fiction stories. There are a bunch of them out there to choose from. For example, there are the two most popular science fiction franchises of all time: Star Wars and Star Trek. Both of them have brought in billions of dollars through movies, syndication, books and merchandise. There are popular TV shows -- everything from Lost in Space to Battlestar Galactica. There are the big movies like I, Robot and 2001: A Space Odyssey. From the world of video games there are incredibly popular titles like Halo and Half-life. And then there are the well-known science fiction books like Brave New World, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Ringworld and Neuromancer. In other words, you have a very large body of work to choose from when it comes to science fiction."
