How has no one mentioned David Brin's Earthclan series?
Or LeGuin's The Dispossessed?
How? HOW?
Trolls? In my EVE forums? It's more likely than you think... |

Oh, and another thing, all science fiction is a fantasy, so the fact that 40k is a space fantasy is of little import. It is teh grimdarks, that's what's important.

It is Science Fiction without Science, thats why I dislike it.
Yes, physically modified warriors using artificially created organs has nothing to do with science. A race whose technology is an extended phenotypic effect like a caddis house has nothing to do with science. Ancient civilizations which dead ended with killer robots has nothing to do with science. Faster than light travel, fantasy, totally no basis in science. A hive species from another galaxy that absorbs genetic material as it feasts on worlds, another total fantasy like LotR.
But I don't need the sarcasm, you just defeated your whole argument.

Science fiction has just as much to do with real science as fantasy, nothing. If it was a equivalent comparison then it would be just fiction, set in the world we all already live in. But it isn't, it is a fantasy based on what we wish was true, or hope won't happen. You're splitting hairs, and because of that I suspect you of trolling the 40k nerds.
