What's your country's greatest contribution to science-fiction?
>>
>>68646617

Doctor Who I guess.

I couldn't say for sure, but this comic really made me think.

RUR

Asimov and Bradbury.

some cyberpunk

maybe Lem but while great writer he's not known outside Polan and Russia
>>
>>68646617
Lem

>>68648620
Don't forget about Dick
>>
>>68648714
I think that people who like sci-fi knows him. Also a comics from op gave me cancer

Comic sort of has a point but Gene Roddenberry would have upped the YES levels quite a bit if he could have

Anyway...Do other countries watch Star Trek very much?

Posting Geordi because he's semi related to the topic but more importantly because I love him

Our sci-fi is not know outside of Russia and ex-USSR countries. I could list here a hundred of soviet and russian authors, but their names wouldn't tell you anything.

Btw, this is how was American sci-fi viewed in the USSR in the 50s.

OH WAIT Jules Verne of course !

Disgusting.

[spoiler]Can you tell Herbert's son to not ruin his father's legacy, please?

>>68649060
I know the movie sucked. I hope Herbert will forgive me. My book has no cover.

Canadian production company Nelvana made like half of all kids shows ever, including lots of sci-fi most notably all the star wars shit
X-files had a lot of Canadian input
Stargate SG-1
A Canadian invented the klingon language
William fucking Shatner
Avatar

Just lots of shit tbqh

>>68649126
The book is so much better than the movie. It's literally the best scifi book you can buy. I want something similar, but it simply doesn't exist.
>>
>>68648993

I wish I could the same about your sci-fi, Janusz, but I can't. The only polish sci-fi writers I know are Lem, Zajdel, Zaniewski and Debski.
>>
>>68649034

I can make only a rough translation, this texts contains a lot of expressions that cannot be translated into English:

In the world of delusional fiction:

(Being) embraced by a militaristc fever,
The mister threatens the entire universe.
Here everything works out with a gun.
And negroes of all planets get lynched.

Here the world is heading to degeneration.
And the ghosts are dashing out of the books,
And a robot is smarter than a man,
According to the author's opinion.

What are they making for
All this disgusting garbage so zealously?
All that awful gibberish is a protection
Of the brutal rule of Wall Street.

>>68646617
There's a few stories, some by worthy authors (Fuentes, Esquivel) but unfortunately science fiction tended to be looked down upon in the 20th century despite being a somewhat popular genre with readers.

In terms of movies Mexico did produce some worthy humor films in it's cinema golden age and a couple of good B movies later on, tho most of this was in the form of elements incorporated in horror/supernatural storytelling.

The best regarded movie would be Del Toro's Cronos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy1CSVv_i7c

which brins me to the point that probably the big contribution by Mexico is in the form of movie directors working outside the country, Cuarón's Children of Men and Gravity being the best examples.

On the other hand Mexico's culture, particularly it's ancient civilizations, have been key inspirations in American science fiction, while the country is often depicted in American treatments of alternate or future history.

Btw, we used to make good sci-fi movies until the 1970s.
>>
>>68649885

Solaris directed by Tarkovskiy is one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made. The ending scene when the main character hugs his father recreated incompletely by the living planet blew my mind.
>>
>>68648880
Best in thread

>>68649885
Why'd you stop?
>>
>>68646617
Ah-- this comic is a great 2015 vintage.

James Cameron and David Cronenberg I guess. Also Shatner.
>>
>>68646617
idk, but just by our proximity with USA I wouldn't be surprised if there are cameos by people of our country here and there.

Dune came from America, and that's objectively the best Sci fi novel in history.

Possibly Čapek plays and novels. RUR's already been mentioned so

Also one of our 19th century writers wrote a few stories about a stereotypical Czech going to the moon or traveling in time to 15th century
Although it was criticism of contemporary society rather than sci-fi. It's also not really widely known so it can't be called global contribution either.

Solaris was one the last decent soviet sci-fi movie. Everything released after 1980 was just awful.
