Science Fiction Books - Old sci fi plots


Expert: Sue Kayton - 2/2/2009

Question
I read tons of sci-fi stories as a kid (60's and early 70's) and remember pieces of lots of plots. I'd love to revisit some of these "old friends". Is there any search engine that can help me find the author/title/link to any of these stories? Thanks!

Answer
Here's a handy tool if you know the author, anthology, or title.

Allow me to recommend the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, volume 1 in particular, but all the volumes are excellent.  You probably also read a bunch of Heinlein juveniles (see Wikipedia article on Robert Heinlein) and a bunch of Asimov books such as the Foundation Trilogy, Caves of Steel, and the Naked Sun.  Have fun rediscovering old friends!
