The best Science-Fiction universe/story?

[Enduro]

Any science fiction list without the Enderverse and Starship Troopers is incomplete.

I can't believe I forgot Firefly, that deserves to be on the list as well.

Why aren't you nerds watching "The Expanse"?  You're seriously missing out.

I love The Expanse. It's one of my favorite shows.

Does the Steven King Universe count?

Does the Steven King Universe count?

Stephen King's books like The Stand? I thought they were more fantasy and horror than science fiction. Which books do you think qualify as science fiction?

What do others think?

Well, I'm assuming that all of Stephen King's books are connected. At least, that's what I read a few places on the internet. The Stand is the main story sequence, and the rest are loosely connected. That said, books like Under The Dome and Carrie have science fiction qualities.

Warhammer 40k's universe is my favorite as there is just something so bleak and hopeless about it that makes it philosophically interesting, followed by Star Wars of course. Though I should probably mention that I actually slightly prefer Star Trek as a series, just the universe and lore isn't as, I don't know, cool?

I can see that. Even if I prefer Star Wars as a whole.

Also, as a person who doesn't know what Warhammer is, it sounds really interesting. Can you suggest a starting point for me?

Sorry about resurrecting the thread, just wanted to answer this.

Starting with one of the dawn of war games is probably easiest from the perspective of time, money and general difficulty. Then you can go and read up on the various factions and stuff on the wiki and slowly get into some of the books(much like the expanded universe Star Wars stuff, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few really good ones), getting into the table top game is hard, time consuming and expensive, and I've only played it once or twice.

Thanks. I'll be sure to look into it.
