I highly recommend The Martian if you haven't already read it. Don't see the movie before reading the book...Well, you know..."HOW COULD THEY LEAVE THAT OUT!"

I was a huge Asimov and Bradbury fan as well. Also Orwell and Huxley. Huxley's "Brave New World" is as prophetic as Orwell's "1984" in my opinion.

I agree there has been a significant decline/interest in good written science fiction. The apocalypse, alien invasion, and zombie stuff is all over the movies, but rarely thought provoking in my opinion.
