I am currently on a mission to read (or in some cases, reread) the great novels of Robert Silverberg. By ‘great’ I of course mean those written in that short but productive period between the late 60’s and early 70’s (Lord Valentine’s Castle? You can keep it!). I originally came across...

Hiya. This has been driving me crazy. It's (maybe) a trilogy with a Brian Aldis/ Robert Silverberge far future vibe. I'm sure the titles had a seasonal motif. It starts in what turns out to be a research lab where the scientist went into some kind of cryosleep to get past a catastrophe but they...

I read this book in the late 1970’s. The earth is one ocean with floating cities. There are humans that live on the floating cities and another species of humans that have evolved to live in the sea. I think the sea humans are called the ‘Seaborn Ones’. I do not remember the title. It was a...

This book is about the earth is covered in ice. And cities are buried underground and it is forbidden to leave. A group does leave and travels across the ice to find the city of London

I remember everything about this book except the title and author, who was fairly prominent. It was a short 3-parter, with the first part published as stand-alone story in a magazine. Set in near future Blade Runner-style Earth: overcrowded, poor, on verge of collapse, swept by new addictions...

Hi - looking for a tale I read many years ago! Premise of the story was there was man who hid himself within a catacomb with many traps and pitfalls to isolate himself from the world (and I believe all the noise from people IE:psionics). He is eventually found and recruited to fight against the...

Hey everyone! I just found out my friend has been desperately searching for a book he says "helped him grow up" but he only remembers vague details about the book. I'd love to find the title for him.... it will make his day. Here we go... these are the vague details of the book: A man, living...

Was a book about a young boy/teen sneaking into a room where he could access saved memories of people from throughout the history of his world and could virtually live parts of their lives. I remember one of the specific stories which of course peaked my interest as a teen... was about a woman...

hi guys. probably about 15 years ago i read a sci fi book that involved a distant future where humans had been kept underground (in some sort of ark like habitat) and evolved into humanoids with tails. in their ark one last human was kept alive in stasis, when he wakes up not long after quickly...

Couldn't find a thread about Silverberg. I know this guy has written a lot of books. Like Phil Dick numbers. So far I've only read Dying Inside. Not what I was expecting. Very 'literary', as they say ;) interesting. But as typical of a lot of first person narratives I've come across, it was...
