Are There Any Hard Science Fiction Novels Written by Physics Experts? Rather Brain-Burning
I have read enough mindless articles and want to read some brain-burning hard science fiction novels. The author should be a physics expert and professional enough.

A must-read for science fiction fans, I've already binge-watched it! This is an extremely classic science fiction novel. It was written in 1964, but it is still amazing when you read it today. It is called the "pioneer of cyberpunk". As a science fiction novel, the greatest charm of this book lies not only in the exciting, imaginative and unbridled plots, but also in the work's advanced consciousness and thinking about individual life, which makes it shine with a unique philosophical light. When the protagonist finally breaks through the illusion and comes to the upper real world, this is clearly not the end, but the beginning. Highly recommended!
"The Thirteenth Floor" is a pioneer in the concept of cyberpunk and the source of inspiration for many science fiction works. It is a landmark science fiction novel and a work worthy of admiration. The writing style of the book is very comfortable, serious but not rigid, and the words and sentences are quite sophisticated in serious literature. Descartes' famous saying is mentioned many times in the book: "I think, therefore I am." The pursuit of self-awareness and the philosophy of the value of survival. When I learned about the year when this book was born, the author's thinking and insight were full of magnanimity, and the reading experience was completely majestic and shocking.
When real people created a virtual world and collected public feedback on various information to predict public opinion polls on business and political-related information, the protagonist Hall in the virtual world of this book discovered a series of strange things in his own world: the disappearance of colleagues and the mysterious death of the technical director. , I accidentally observed that some rural areas disappeared and reappeared, etc. When the virtual tasks began to analyze and question the nature of their own world, when the virtual world was about to be destroyed, and when love happened in the gap that should not have happened, the author recorded in words our thoughts and feelings as well as the ups and downs of the characters in the story.
Oh my god, what an amazing novel. It's hard to imagine that this was a novel written decades ago! It predates the movie The Matrix by who knows how long! The plot can be described as magical! I have nothing but respect for this novel. It was a great choice to read it. Thank you to the author.
The full text is not long and takes about 2-3 hours to read. As one of the pioneering works of "cyberpunk" (1964), I had never heard of this work before, and there was very little about it online. It's quite new to most people. It could also be that the 50-year copyright is open to the public, which shows that this book is quite "new". Maybe some of the plots seem to be relatively routine now. After all, this type of plot has been seen in films such as Inception and The Matrix, but at the time, it was hard to say. If I were asked to think about future computer development, virtual worlds, etc. In the 1960s and 1970s, I would be at a loss [what] [what] Moreover, this novel also has elements of love and murder. After reading it, I felt that the story was quite smooth and flowing. The translator's words in the foreword are quite true. The translation of this novel is good, but the writing style is not sophisticated. Beautiful, love watching. The novel explores "self" and "existence", what is "real" and "virtual", and the love is a bit hallucinatory "paper man love", well, that's it, it is recommended.
A thought-provoking book that redefines the essence of life from the perspective of independence of thought. Similar to the setting of Brain in a Vat, the plot is compact and not procrastinating. It was also a very advanced work in that era.
Advanced concepts, design electronics, philosophy, psychology, behavior and other aspects
"The Thirteenth Space" is called a science fiction classic that transcends the times. In the book, the author has expressed his deep thinking about the many problems that the virtual world will bring. The presentation of cyberpunk in the book is amazing, and the author ensures the integrity of the plot in the novel while developing his own wild imagination, making it more readable and interesting. This book also had a profound influence on the later cyberpunk genre of science fiction and movies such as "The Matrix".
The author's imagination is really rich, and his description of future technology is also very detailed. Moreover, the characters and plot in the book are so attractive that it feels like watching a movie. I think Daniel Galouye is a very good writer, and his works always make people immersed in them.
This is a very classic science fiction novel, and the translator said it is a true classic that transcends its time. After reading this science fiction novel, it is difficult for us to imagine that it was a novel written in 1964, because at that time computer technology was even in the transistor era, but the author magically imagined, or we say predicted, the current virtual reality technology. In 1999, the novel was adapted into a science fiction film, which was a huge success.
This is a true cyberpunk enlightenment work
The work of 1964 is still very resistant to this day. It is worthy of being the enlightenment teacher of "The Matrix", the originator and one of the classics of cyberpunk. I think, therefore I am~
Cyberpunk pioneer, I think it's great
5 Need to say more, I am a pioneer
The writing is very good. What is rare is that this book was written in the 1960s. The author's imagination is so great that it is close to Inception.
Worthy of being a pioneering work
Very beautiful, very advanced
Okay, I like to listen, I especially like to listen.
I like it very much, it sounds good, and I give you a good review. [Praise]
It's so beautiful, I hope I can see it all the time
It's so imaginative, I'll never forget this idea after watching the movie for many years.
