Can you recommend some smart science fiction works?

One example could be some of the works by Raymond Chandler. His detective stories have the elements of pulp fiction with the tough private eyes and seedy underworld settings, but they are also very smart in terms of the writing, the complex characters, and the way he weaves the mystery.

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.

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.

Yes. 'Among Others' by Jo Walton is a good beginner - friendly science fiction book. It's about a girl who loves science fiction and has some magical elements as well. It's a story that draws you in gently. 'The City & the City' by China Miéville is another interesting one. It has a unique concept of two cities that exist in the same physical space but are culturally and socially distinct. It's not too hard to understand and can get you hooked on science fiction.

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.

Since I'm not sure what 'pask science fiction' is exactly, I can't recommend any specific works. There might not be any widely known works under this name yet if it's a new or very specific concept.

One well - known work is 'The Culture' series by Iain M. Banks. It features a vast and complex galactic civilization which can be seen as a kind of cluster of different species and societies interacting in various ways. Another is 'The Hyperion Cantos' by Dan Simmons, which has elements of different groups and clusters of beings in a far - future, complex universe.

Sorry, without more information about what exactly smallpools science fiction is, it's difficult to recommend specific works. But if it's a new or niche area, you could start by looking for self - published works with the keyword 'Smallpools' in science fiction categories on e - book platforms.

The movie 'Edge of Tomorrow' can also be considered. The main character is forced to relive the same day of a brutal alien battle over and over again. Each time, he has to make quick decisions and adapt to new situations impulsively. It's a great example of how impulse science fiction can be used to create a tense and engaging story with lots of action and unexpected twists.
