What are your top 10 science fiction books? in c/[email protected]
[–] mr_stank 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I really enjoy Kim Stanley Robinsons books, the Mars trilogy especially. However a couple of his standalone books are also great (Aurora and 2312).

Also, I love peter f Hamiltons world building. Pandoras Star kicks off a huge story spanning 7 odd books.

And finally, James sa Corey and the expanse series are phenomenal.

Israeli airstrike on a residential building in the Dahiya neighborhood of Beirut, Lebanon. in c/[email protected]

I understand that sometimes Israel gives advance warning that a building will be struck. This is likely why it was already being filmed.
