Some classic science fiction works like Isaac Asimov's 'Foundation' series share similar themes of grand ideas about society and technology, which might be similar to what's in '2016 Horton Best Science Fiction'.
I'm not sure specifically which works are in it without more research. It could include a variety of science fiction stories or novels that were considered the best in that year according to Horton's selection criteria.
Sure. 'The Martian' by Andy Weir is a great one. It's about an astronaut stranded on Mars and his struggle to survive. It has the same sense of scientific exploration as many works in the best - of lists.
If the works in the '1987 locus top 50 science fiction' were more about exploring future societies, then you might like 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley. It presents a very different vision of a future society with its own set of rules and social structures. Another work could be 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson which combines elements of future society, technology and a unique form of cyberpunk - like world - building.
Another one could be 'Blade Runner' - related works. They often deal with complex future societies and moral questions, much like what '666 science fiction' might do. The exploration of what it means to be human in a technological world is a common theme.
There's also 'Record of a Spaceborn Few' by Becky Chambers. This book focuses on the lives of the people living in a flotilla of ships in space. It shows their daily lives, their cultures, and how they interact with each other in this unique setting. It's a really heartwarming and thought - provoking read.
Definitely. 'Foundation' series by Isaac Asimov is a must - read for hard science fiction fans. It's based on concepts of psychohistory, a fictional science that predicts the future of large populations. 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells is also a great piece. It introduced the idea of time travel in a scientific - ish way. And 'Rendezvous with Rama' by Arthur C. Clarke is amazing. It showed a detailed exploration of an alien spacecraft and the scientific implications of such a discovery.
As I don't know what 'azomof science fiction' is, I can't recommend similar works directly. However, if it's a traditional science - fiction concept, works like 'Dune' by Frank Herbert are great. 'Dune' has a complex universe, advanced technology, and political intrigue which are common elements in many science - fiction works.
One could be 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells. It has elements of exploring new concepts in science, like time travel, which can be seen as a journey into the unknown, much like the idea of 'into the light'.
One work that might be similar is 'Ender's Game'. It has unique alien species and a lot of scientific concepts like space travel and military strategy in a fictional universe. Another could be 'The War of the Worlds' which features strange alien invaders, much like how Grasshopper Science Fiction might have unique entities. And 'Dune' with its complex world - building and strange creatures could also share some similarities.
I'm not familiar with 'lazarus science fiction' specifically, but if it has elements of resurrection or post - apocalyptic settings, you might like 'The Stand' by Stephen King. It has a post - apocalyptic world and themes of survival and rebirth in a sense.
