25 Science Fiction Classics

Our maverick English Teacher and genre enthusiast looks at SF and comes up with 25 essential (in his opinion) texts. This is not a "best of …" list; rather, it is a compilation of some well-known(and not-so-well-known) titles that represent, he believes, the literary merits of the genre. Our compiler limited himself to only one title per author, and set 25 as the limit to keep the list focused and manageable.
