This book is a little treasure trove of wisdom, witty sayings, and things to discover. It draws from very diverse sources: excerpts from texts, movies, and TV series. I had fun discovering many unknown titles, but I also found great pleasure in coming across works I dearly love, like Star Trek, The Orville, The X-Files, Contact... This book brings together recent works, old ones, classics, and lesser-known pieces, appealing to all generations. My new game: opening it randomly to decide what my next read or watch will be! A book that makes you want to read more.

I enjoyed this book. I thought that the quotes selected were very meaningful. I started out selecting my favourite quotes, but the list became too long, so I started selecting my favourite chapters. And again the list became too long. Ultimately, I selected “Science” as my favourite chapter, with honourable mention to “Ethics and Morality”. But really, all the chapters were great. The book also gave me leads on what other genre books I might like to read. Overall, this is a great book for fans of the genre. Thank you to Netgalley and Prometheus for the advance reader copy.

So this is an amazing collection. The quotes come from different mediums and are mixed up together and divided by topic. The selections are smart, and I found myself reading them slowly so I could remember the impact when I first came across them.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

There were so many amazing Sci-Fi quotes in this book including ones that I had forgotten. A great reminder of the amazing sci fi quotes that filled my childhood.

A fun collection of sci-fi quotes. These quotes have the power to bring back memories of the original scene and spark nostalgia. There are a large number of quotes from a wide range of sources. Well done.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to the e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

My thanks to both NetGalley and the publisher Globe Pequot Prometheus for an advance copy of this book of quotations featuring numerous words of wisdom from works of science fiction from classics to modern masters.

I don't know when I started, but I have been using file cards as bookmarks for many, many years now. Even on e-readers I keep a file card tucked away along with a pen, to write down things I come across in whatever I am reading. Usually words I don't know, foreign phrases, food stuffs, historical facts or just facts in general. And of course quotes. Lines from the author, epigraphs from others, lines of poetry. I believe the editor of this book Guy P Harrison must have done the same thing, as Harrison's collection Damn You, Entropy!: 1,001 of the Greatest Science Fiction Quotes is one of the most wide ranging and complete collections of science fiction quotes I have ever read.

The book like most quote books is broken into themes, more than fifty, dealing with Art, Free Will, Science, Artifical Intelligence, and my two favorites Doomsday and Stupidity. The quotes range from classic works like Karel Čapek's RUR, who wrote, Nobody can hate Man more than Man. There are lines from movies, Star Wars Terminator and other films. Even modern masters like Ken Liu and of course Andy Weir, where the title of this book came from are included. The introduction by Harrison is always well done, a reminder to readers about the power of science fiction, stories in general, and the hope that science fiction gives readers.

People will always have opinions about books like these. Why don't you have insert name here? I can't believe you omitted insert name here? I thought this was a a very good collection, with lots of works I remembered fondly, and a few I wrote down on my handy file card to look up later. Most of these lines put smiles on my face, as I remembered either hearing of seeing them for the first time year ago. That's the power that many of these words have.

A great gift for someone who loves the genre, likes quotes in general, or needs just a little boost to help with their writing. A really good collection that I can't wait to get a physical copy of so I can read it again.

I think this is either the first time I have read something like this or it has been a long time since the last time.
This book offers a collection of well-curated quotations from sci-fi books and films. As an avid science, sci-fi and fantasy lover and an adamant hater of quotes, I challenged myself and read this book.
If you are like me (adoring several cultural work but never finding time to wholly revisit them), this is a great guide book. Reading some of my favourite lines, discovering new ones, and being reminded of those that were buried in my memory, this book made me smile, reflect and inspired.
The quotations are categorised into sections/themes, and this allows for an easier read. Because of the nature of the book, one does not need to read it cover to cover and pick any page to start reading it.
A much needed conversation about art meets science, science meets life, life meets both and they live happily and critically ever after.
