Welcome to Litsy!

In a distant future, humanity expands outward in an endless quest for resources that can be exploited, and individuals must justify their existence to merit food, oxygen and even consciousness. When an accident sends Juna and Mai to the surface of a wildly inhospitable moon targeted for resource extraction, they face a hostile environment and first contact with a life form unlike anything humanity has ever encountered. Fascinating.

Hari Seldon uses the statistical techniques of psychohistory to foresee the coming collapse of the Galactic Empire and starts a Foundation which will help shorten the coming period of barbarism since the collapse of the Empire is now inevitable. We observe the course of history through a series of snapshots in the first couple of centuries of the Foundation's existence. ⬇

Pub Day was 20 May 2025

Four people travel back in time to relive an important memory. When they are stuck in the past after their allotted hour has run out, they wonder whether they might be able to stay in the past and change the events that made them come back. Although the four people don't know each other it is soon clear that they might actually share the pivotal moment in their lives. ⬇️

It was a close vote, but in the end, Foundation prevailed as June's selection for #ClassicLSFBC. A close second was Lord of Light, which will be the selection for July. Copies of Foundation should be available at most libraries, and I've see very cheap copies available on Ebay, the audiobook is available free on Spotify with a premium account. I hope everyone can find a copy to enjoy. @Bookwomble @Ruthiella @TheSpineView @BookmarkTavern

This book for more transitional than any of the previous two books in the series. I still enjoyed it. Ready for The Rise of Endymion!

#aardvark picks- grabbed another #camplitsy25 book!

This is another collection of short stories about robots in society in the I, Robot series. What‘s interesting about these stories, is that they are mostly magazine style shorts. Which Asimov would describe, himself, prior to each story. The stories themselves didn‘t really strike me as hard as the first book did, though they were still fun reads. Still worth a read if you like the original story world.

We have a very eclectic selection for June's #ClassicLSFBC. I think any of them would make for a enjoyable read or reread. As usual, the book with the most votes will be for June, and the next closest will be the choice for July. I'll announce the winners on Monday. #ClassicLSFBC

I had this novel backburnered from a #classicLSFBC buddyread, but I‘m happy to have finally read it! Great cover, wacky book. I‘m giving it a low pick bc the idea of humanity entering the space-faring universe as one of the only species not to have a patron to introduce technology led to interesting alien dynamics. But the plot was all over the place - a Jekyll-&-Hyde thing, a murder mystery, oddly timed pov shifts, hand-to-hand fighting… I dunno
