Introduction

Hi. My name is Michael J. Belluzzi. I'm an educator/consultant in the environmental sciences. I specialize in land, water and food issues.

What is your favorite type of science-fiction book (space opera, cyberpunk, alternate history, time travel)?

I tend to prefer "hard" science fiction books, but also enjoy space opera, cyberpunk and other types.

Who are some of your favorite genre authors? Favorite books?

Some of my favorite authors include Larry Niven, Dan Simmons, Jack Chalker, Ray Bradbury, Tim Powers, Christopher Moore, William Gibson, Harlan Ellison, K. W. Jeter, Philip K. Dick, Philip Jose Farmer, Theodore Sturgeon, Hal Clement, Richard Matheson, C. M. Kornbluth and Henry Kuttner.

What Michael J. Belluzzi is saying about this Meetup Group

  • Welcome to the group! We haven't read too much hard sci-fi so you'll have to give us some suggestions about where to start. Hope to see you at a future meeting!
