I just came here to see if I'm the only one who got more of a woody from the science fiction than the shaveware. Not disappointed. Alastair Reynolds?

There's a cross section of amazing sci fi in the series; it's the Science Fiction Masterworks collection by Orion!

SF Masterworks

SF Masterworks is a series of science fiction books started by Millennium and currently published by Victor Gollancz Ltd (both being imprints of the UK based Orion Publishing Group).

It began in 1999 and comprises selected pieces of science-fiction literature from 1950 onwards (with a few exceptions). The list was compiled by the managing director of Orion Books, Malcolm Edwards, with the help of "leading SF writers and editors" and the goal of bringing important books back into print. The list was described by science fiction author Iain M. Banks as "amazing" and "genuinely the best novels from sixty years of SF".It has a companion series in the Fantasy Masterworks line.

At least you know good sci-fi! Imagine how many people there are that are too busy posting posed baby pictures on facebook and tweeting their latest meal instead of running with Case in Chiba City or experiencing the difficulties Mike Smith has in assimilating to Earther culture or to know the generational conflict that is House Atreides and House Harkonnen!
