Can you recommend some 'fop science fiction' works?

Well, 'fop science fiction' is rather unclear. It might be a term used by a small group of enthusiasts or even a made - up term for a unique kind of science - fiction concept. It could be science fiction that has elements related to a particular culture or group that uses the word 'fop' in some way, like perhaps a science - fiction world where there are 'fop' - like aliens with elaborate and flamboyant appearances.

I'm not sure specifically which '80' you mean here. If it's about works from the 1980s, 'Blade Runner' is a classic. It has a very unique vision of a future Los Angeles and explores themes of artificial intelligence and what it means to be alive.

Edgar Allan Poe also dabbled in what could be considered early science fiction in the 1800s. His stories often had elements of the macabre combined with scientific or technological concepts. For example, 'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall' which involved a journey to the moon in a rather unique and early take on space travel stories.

Sure. 'The Martian' is a great one. It tells the story of an astronaut stranded on Mars and his struggle to survive. It's full of scientific details and exciting plot twists.

Well, 'A Sound of Thunder' by Bradbury as well. It's a micro - fiction that delves into the concept of time travel and how small changes in the past can have huge consequences in the present. It shows Bradbury's amazing ability to pack a big idea into a short story.

It's a bit difficult to point out pure 'Plato science fiction' works. However, Ursula K. Le Guin's 'The Dispossessed' has some elements that could be related. It explores different social structures and the concept of an ideal society. The story looks at how a society without a hierarchical structure functions and compares it with more traditional, hierarchical ones. This exploration of different social models is somewhat in line with Plato's thinking about different forms of governance and the nature of the ideal state.

I'm not specifically familiar with Marabout science fiction works. But you could try looking for them in local libraries or specialized bookstores. They might have a catalogue or section dedicated to Marabout publications which could include their science - fiction offerings.

I also recommend 'The Martian'. It's about an astronaut who gets stranded on Mars and has to use his scientific knowledge to survive. It's a story of human perseverance and the power of science in the face of extreme challenges.

I'm not very familiar with a large number of Gambian science fiction works specifically. However, some emerging Gambian authors might be exploring this genre on a smaller scale. You could try looking for local Gambian literary magazines or small - press publications that might feature science - fiction stories.

Sure. 'Stargate SG - 1' is a great one. It features a large, ancient portal called the Stargate that allows travel to different planets. Another is 'The Magicians' which has a magical portal system that leads to different magical realms. Also, 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' can be considered in a way, as the entrance to the center of the earth can be seen as a sort of portal to a strange and different world.
