I recently read the original Dune series by Frank Herbert and I see that there have been a number of prequels written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson. I was wondering if these prequels are worth the read or do people think they don't stand up to the original.

General Battuta posted:They are spectacularly awful. Thanks for the advice - I guess they are worth missing then. This does leave me with the problem of what to read next. I have been feeling pretty uninspired recently. Are there any new/ up and coming Sci-Fi authors people would recommend?

General Battuta posted:Yes, loads. How new are you talking? If you mean new-new, then in the long form, people are fond of Hannu Rajaniemi and Ekaterina Sedia. If you're willing to read short, I'd push Yoon Ha Lee. You should pick Ted Chiang's collection 'Story of Your Life And Others' even though it's not that new. Thanks for the suggestions. I think I will start with Ted Chiang. Always happy to get recommendations
