I don't like aliens or robots or space. They're all just the usual centuries-old fiction storylines with a bunch of fancy sounding words thrown in to make dumb nerds feel smart.

So my favorite sci fi universe has to be one that doesn't have robots or aliens or space. I like LOST

Literally three posts above yours, ensure you ignore any and all Iain M. Banks references; he wrote entire books about trannies(see: Wasp Factory).

Hi.

When you rolled into this thread, did you see a sign that said "Public Library"?

No no no no. When you rolled into this thread, did you see a sign that said "Public Library"?

No?

You know why?

Because this AIN'T THE PUBLIC LIBRARY!

We don't stock goddamned Pearls of Lutra side-by-side with Dune.

Sick reference

Also the mass effect universe is my favorite one. 40k is up there too. The "best" in terms of most well thought out is probably foundation/empire though
