Best selling science fiction books. Great extracts

Old has the appeal of the gold and when it comes to old #scifibooks, the appeal is that of rare gold. That glitters in the landscape of scifi readers’ minds like million beacons of pedagogic device that aim at fostering human ingenuity. 

Many best selling scifi books offer this science centric nostrum to us- The addicted scifi readers. With the unique ability to direct our scientific imagination on the course of productive thinking. Thinking that is scientifically correct, because every form of imagination as long as it does not conflict with other people's personal and social interests is good and worth promoting. And that is what best selling scifi books do, they promote scientific imagination that has the highest concentration of every form of goodness.

Given below are a few best selling scifi books, that do not happen to be our favourites because they were best sellers. But for one reason alone; they won the hearts of our restless scientific imagination.

Best selling scifi book Dune.

It elevates human imagination to a different level. And it makes the scifi readers believe that a better version of reality always begins in the imagination, because it is only there it can exist in its still undiscovered form. And when it comes to imagining about a scifi world, nothing beats Dune. And the way it co-relates interplanetary feuds which escalate into wars, all because of a wonder drug, is something that every #scifibook cannot achieve.

An extract from the scifibook Dune.

"The planet sheltered people who lived at the desert edge without caid or bashar to command them: will-o'-the-sand people called Fremen, marked down on no census of the Imperial Regate. Arrakis—Dune—Desert Planet. Paul sensed his own tensions, decided to practice one of the mind-body lessons his mother had taught him."

Best selling scifi book The Science of Interstellar.

If any #scifibook has ever challenged human imagination based on cosmic realities that actually are plausible scientific factors and dimensions. Then it should be admitted that no scifi book comes anyway close to the #scifibook titled: The Science of Interstellar.

Maybe it is due to this reason that most of the scifi readers have read this best selling scifi book more than once. Because it launched their imagination into the highest point of scifi thinking. That too based on facts and realities that exist in the cosmos.

An extract from the scifibook The Science of Interstellar.

"There is a maximum spin rate that any black hole can have. If it spins faster than that maximum, its horizon disappears, leaving the singularity inside it wide open for all the universe to see; that is, making it naked—which is probably forbidden by the laws of physics (Chapter 26)"

Best selling scifi book Frankenstein.

This #scifibook is different for many reasons. One of them being the way it projects the existence of a creation who possesses every trait of a human being, except one. That he has no soul.

But should that matter, as long as he can think, as long as he can feel and then express these thoughts as feelings. Should it really matter?

And this is primary attraction of this uniquely written scifibook. It strengthens the fact that scifi authors write about #sciencefiction that touches our hearts and influences our minds at the same time. This scifi book does it with matchless efficiency. It forces the scifi readers to think, whether it will be right on part of us, humans, to be the engineers of humans born purely from our scientific advancements. Where these humans are not formed in the wombs, but they are incubated by the hand of man and women alone. Simply by using technology that can play the creator of anything. With just one disability, it cannot incubate a soul in them.

And this scifi book leaves us with one important question, can we even imagine the pain and suffering of this soulless being; and who would be to blame for his soul less acts?

An extract from the scifibook Frankenstein.

"My courage and my resolution is firm; but my hopes fluctuate, and my spirits are often depressed. I am about to proceed on a long and difficult voyage, the emergencies of which will demand all my fortitude: I am required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to sustain my own, when theirs are failing."

Best selling scifi book The Invisible Man.

I do not like this #scifibook because it tells a captivating scifi story. I love this scifibook because it clearly highlights how far a person can go to seek what he/she believes in. And the way the plot has been handled by Mr. H. G. Wells is commendable. Because he makes you loathe the main character and at many occasions the scifi reader is forced to sympathise with him. Because the author is able to juxtapose scientific sanity with scientific madness with such a balance that the scifi reader becomes this gullible sympathiser, and the next moment the same scifi reader questions the social, personal and scientific sanity of the main character who has been trapped in his own scientific novelty; or should I say curse.

An extract from the scifibook The Invisible Man.

"I went over the heads of the things a man reckons desirable. No doubt invisibility made it possible to get them, but it made it impossible to enjoy them when they are got."

Please wait! There is one more #scifibook that bears the appeal of rare gold, and it is titled: They Loved in 2075. It is not just a scifibook, it is a scifi romance with technological novelty that will leave you hooked to it. Moreover, it is set in 2075, when self aware machines will be emoting like humans, and humanity would have lost its layer of native human emotions. And imagining a  love story in the middle of this emotional crisis is not easy.

This fact should get you excited enough to read it in detail and at your ease. Here is an extract from the #scifibook, They Loved in 2075:

“She looks surprised because Saabir’s explanation of wife and Marriage was too philosophical for her. Moreso, because she is yet to understand the human process of procreation where mating with the partner is more inclined towards expressing affection towards that person and not solely concentrated on producing babies. It is an attempt where two people try to bond together as two souls with one common heart beat dedicated to love and their commitment towards each other as soul mates.

 

She also finds Saabir’s explanation beyond the comprehension of her IQ that primarily deals with algorithms written in the binary language of ZEROs and ONEs. Yet, somehow, she understands it and the fact that through Marriage they will be able to live together forever. And she readily expresses her willingness to join him and his clan, based on this prospect- especially the prospect of being loved and the opportunity to live and experience the climax of joy her body experiences whenever she touches Saabir or fills herself with his invigorating smell.”

Let us maintain the scifi vigour, and the #scifibook They Loved in 2075, is a step in this direction. To propagate and perpetuate the scifi vigour. Because human will is not meant to be tamed, it is meant to be liberated and allowed to soar as high as it can. Never to be chained by any force, and not to be restrained even by gravity!
