Papa Z's Essential Science Fiction

Science Fiction is a broad genre, and I am deliberately trying not to blend Fantasy Fiction into this list. My own preferences in Sci-Fi- tend toward "Hard" (meaning relying on the hard sciences) Science Fiction -- though, as you can see, I do make exceptions. The great names of Sci-Fi -- namely, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert Heinlein are represented as well as a number of lesser known authors. Of course, the list is subjective, but I suspect that many readers will find sympathy with many of my choices.
