Need help writing a thesis on Herbert's contribution to the sci-fi genre. Any ideas on what to write besides "Father of Science Fiction".
how about actually reading his books and then reading popular works of sf that followed? did you pick this as your thesis?

I didn't pick the thesis, my professor did. I'm not a big Science Fiction fan so I'm at a loss here.

Wells is easy to read, most books are novella length, and his views and intentions are clear. Just do the reading you mope.

He developed and made mainstream a lot of the modern Sci-Fi plot ideas and devices, time machines, alien invasions, and so forth. He was also more Science Fantasy than Science Fiction, with his usually unrealistic, unscientific stories, even for the time.

His works are boring
