    Especially since he eventually joined up The Caves of Steel with Foundation.
    I know probably a bit long for the iPhone generation, but something that wasn't a generic hollywood blockbuster would be nice


    In fact the last scifi I liked was the prawntastic District 9, despite its lowish budget

            I'm looking for 'Ewoks Join the Fight' but I can't see it??
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              D'oh, it's the best films never made, no wonder I haven't seen them.

                Excession is simply awesome, if you are into the Culture rather than simply his story-telling. Player of Games maybe the best story.

                Wasp Factory is wonderful, a film might end up being banned in the mold of Clockwork Orange though.

                  Very true, I've liked his stuff for 25 years, have many/most of his stuff in paperback and a lot of it electronically. He wrote a lot of very good shorter stories too.
