What's your country's greatest contribution to science-fiction?
>>68646617
Doctor Who I guess.
>>68646617
I couldn't say for sure, but this comic really made me think.
Our science is totally fictitious.
>>68646617
RUR
>>68646617
Asimov and Bradbury.
>>68646654
>Not Arthur C. Clarke, H.G. Wells, Ian Banks, or Douglas Adams.
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
Nothing worth mentioning
>>68646617
it's just so good
>>68646617
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
>>68648819
Oh, wait.
>>68646617
I'll say The Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boule
>>68646617
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.
>>68648908
OH WAIT Jules Verne of course !
>>68648954
Don't you worry, we know your sci-fi very good Ivan.
>>68648819
>>68648954
lel, what does it say?
>>68648831
and these, Perry Rhodan
>>68648831
>posting the film cover
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
>>68649102
>the movie sucked
>>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.
>>68649586
Thanks senpai.
Risto Isomäki: Gilgamesin Tappio
or "Defeat of Gilgamesh"
mankind gets defeated by a telepathical tree
very similar as Arthur C Clarke novels,very well written
>>68649060
I think he's done for now.
there's a namefag on /m/ on who regularly talks to him
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.
>>68650674
Such is life in the free world with internet: everyone can say bullshit freely and will always find someone to agree with them.
The word ROBOT. You are welcome.
Red Dwarf
>>68646617
Dune came from America, and that's objectively the best Sci fi novel in history.
>>68646617
Possibly Čapek plays and novels. RUR's already been mentioned so
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_with_the_Newts
Zeman films are good too though (unrelated to president btw)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_to_the_Beginning_of_Time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_World_of_Jules_Verne
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stolen_Airship
>>68649166
I wonder why that is
>>68655704
>>68646617
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.
>>68649924
Solaris was one the last decent soviet sci-fi movie. Everything released after 1980 was just awful.
>>68650623
Lack of innovations and financing.
>>68648831
You guys also made Metropolis
>>68646617
Inventing the genre
>>68646617
POLAND: Lem!
>>68646617
Aelita - one of the first space travel movies
Super Strugatsky bros.
We by Zamyatin - the first dystopia.
>>68648685
80s mecha
>>68646617
Sweetheart Poland thanks for Stanislav Lem.
The best science fiction writer. Eden and Niezwyciężony the best I've read in this life.
>>68656172
>Super Strugatsky bros.
What can you advise to read?
Bump. Moar writes!

Does the TV show Reboot count ?
It's kind of a fantasy more than sci-fi though...
>>68648992
Also, Alain Damasio
