If you think about it HG Wells' stuff is now considered steampunk

Very true

When he wrote it it was Sci fi

I have developed a liking for The Doc Savage stories and John Carter stuff as well

Ever read “1000 years War”?

No

Basically about a never ending war because neither side can travel the universe quick enough to surrender

Oh I have heard of it

Its got some very relatable points to today

Have you ever read anything by Harry Turtledove?

Not familiar. But my brain purges. Ill have to look hom up

He wrote a lot of Alternate realities

He wrote a series called the World War series where during World War 2 and alien invasion happens

Right up my alley

The aliens assumed by their intelligence that Earth was in medieval times

A bit “Man in the High Castle” but with ET?

But they had sleeper ships also and they progressed slower than humans did

So when they arrived the humans had aircraft ect

Oooh! Its now on my list

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwar_series

My favorite stories by him are the Southern Victory series where teh South won the Civil War

I do like alternative history stories

He is supposed to be a history professor but he is clueless about what the war was about

Basically the bad guy rises in the South instead of Germany

Decent premise

Instead of Jews he persecutes Blacks

The story is told from the point of view of several people

From different walks of life

Custer is still alive in World War 1 and he is a maniac

Read much fantasy?

So many books. A good post-apocolyptic one is the Dust series (I think thats the name)

Yup. By Hugh Howey. VERY good

I am a fan of R A Salvatore

> Which medium? Books or movies? @Spectre
@jerpeau Mainly movies, but books as well. Whichever is preferred

I think sci-fi fits movies better, and the medieval type stuff fits books well.

Agreed

There's also the 1632 series by Eric Flint. A Virginia coal mining town and a chunk of surrounding area from 2000 gets blinked into the middle of Europe during the Thirty Years War.

And I'm also a fan of Turtledove's alternate histories, Red State. Nice to meet another.

New live-action Transformers movie set to come out June 24, 2022!

Hope it's better than the last four.

If it’s as good as Bumblebee I’ll be very happy
