Does Margaret Atwood fall here?

American Gods is awesome.

You might also want to check out Good Omens and Neverwhere.

This thread is making me think about my favorite sci-fi's through the years. Anyone remember Tron? It's going on my Netflix list...

LOVE Neil Gaiman! i have Neverwhere the Brit mini series on DVD. The book was actually based on the show.

I grew up on Sci fi. Star trek (along with Monty python) was required tv watching by my Dad when I was kid. Got to stay up late or whatever it took, it was homework

I've inherited quite a few of his 1950s/1960s sci fi paperbacks (double sided Ace etc.) Grew up on Heinlein, Philip K. Dick, Ursula La Guin etc etc.

I'm a big ole geek, fringe, battlestar galactica, Babylon 5, blah blah blah.

not exactly sci fi , but urban fantasy like Neil Gaiman with a socialist bent is China Mieville. read the Scar or Perdido Street station. He rocks.

I heard they were doing a remake of Tron (Tron 2.0?).

Oh.. I just watched the pilot of Caprica today. Interesting. And I see that BG: The Plan is coming out. I do wish they had continued the B5 series or a spin-off. I miss that.

Hmmm, this could be a good thing or a very very bad thing me thinks...
