Mary (Meesa) asked this question about The Space Merchants (The Space Merchants, #1):
I am about half way through this book and enjoying it. I am only just dipping into the water with SciFi (abandoned many years ago). I have also read 'I Robot' and loved that. Where should I go after I finish The Space Merchants? Suggestions for a novice, please.

If you are interested in more positive sci-fi (because even though the world in this book is dystopian it's from a pretty positive angle) I would suggest Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. If you are interested in more fiction from the time, you may really like the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov (you can always start with I Robot to just dip your toes in the deep end). If more stories about ad-men is where it is at, Philip K. Dick had a rather psychedelic take in The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Good luck in your journeys!(less)
