The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein
Call Number: FIC HEINL ROBA MO (Adult fiction)

ISBN: 9780441536993

Publication Date: 1987-04-15

Widely acknowledged as one of Robert A. Heinlein's greatest works, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress rose from the golden age of science fiction to become an undisputed classic—and a touchstone for the philosophy of personal responsibility and political freedom. A revolution on a lunar penal colony—aided by a self-aware supercomputer—provides the framework for a story of a diverse group of men and women grappling with the ever-changing definitions of humanity, technology, and free will—themes that resonate just as strongly today as they did when the novel was first published.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
Call Number: FIC DICK PHIK DO Kindle (Request at Circulation Desk)

Publication Date: 1968

San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. The World War has killed millions, driving entire species to extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can't afford one, companies build incredibly realistic fakes: horses, birds, cats, sheep...even humans. Rick Deckard is an officially sanctioned bounty hunter tasked to find six rogue androids. They're machines, but look, sound, and think like humans. Book upon which the film "Bladerunner" was based.

Stand on Zanzibar [Kindle] by John Brunner; Bruce Sterling (Foreword by)
Call Number: FIC BRUNN JOH ST Kindle (Request at Circulation Desk)

ISBN: 9780765326782

Publication Date: 2011-08-16

Originally published in 1968, Stand on Zanzibar was a breakthrough in science fiction storytelling technique, and a prophetic look at a dystopian 2010 that remains compelling today. Corporations have usurped democracy, ubiquitous information technology mediates human relationships, mass-marketed psychosomatic drugs keep billions docile, and genetic engineering is routine. Universal in reach, the world-system is out of control, and we are all its victims...and its creator.

Slaughterhouse-Five : or, The Children's Crusade, a Duty-Dance with Death by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Call Number: Fiction V947sL (Adult Fiction)

ISBN: 9780440580294

Publication Date: 1969

Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber’s son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming “unstuck in time.”
