A while ago while I was in tumblr jail, you posted that you had a masters in science fiction literature (unless you didn't, I have been known to be mistaken), and I am wondering, what do you consider 'important' works of science fiction? Like the science fiction literary canon? I am so curious. Feel free to ignore, I will not harass you.
Yes! I do. I can tell you the ones that I was assigned (I'm afraid that the list skews extremely male and (especially) white).
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818)
Olaf Stapledon, Last and First Men (1930) and Star Maker (1937) [You can probably add Odd John (1935) to this list]
Jules Verne, Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870) [You can probably add From the Earth to the Moon (1865)]
H.G. Wells, The Time Machine (1895) and War of the Worlds (1897) [Though you can probably go ahead and add The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The First Men in the Moon (1901)]
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Herland (1915)
Catherine Burdekin (writing as Murray Constantine), Swastika Night (1937)
Karel Čapek, R.U.R. (1920)
Isaac Asimov, I, Robot (1950) [You can probably add the first three Foundation novels here as well]
Yevgeny Zamyatin, We (1921)
George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949)
Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1967) and Rendezvous with Rama (1973) [Add: Childhood's End (1953) and The Fountains of Paradise (1979)
John Wyndham, Day of the Triffids (1951) [add: The Chrysalids (1955) and The Midwich Cuckoos (1957)]
H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" (1926) [add The Shadow over Innsmouth (1931)]
Richard Matheson, I Am Legend (1954)
Alfred Bester, The Stars My Destination (1956)
Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers (1959) [Probably Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) too, depending on, you know, how much of Heinlein's bullshit you can take]
J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World (1962) [Also, The Burning World (1964) and The Crystal World (1966)]
Phillip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle (1962) [Also Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) and several of his short stories]
Frank Herbert, Dune (1965)
Michael Moorcock, Behold the Man (1969)
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-5 (1969)
Ursula Le Guin, The Dispossessed (1974) [Also The Lathe of Heaven (1971) and The Left Hand of Darkness (1969)]
Brian Aldiss, Supertoys series
William Gibson, Neuromancer (1984)
Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars (1992) [Also Green Mars and Blue Mars]
They also included Iain M. Banks's The Algebraist (2004), but I personally think you'd be better off reading some of his Culture novels
Other ones that I might add (not necessarily my favourite, just what I would consider the most influential):
Joe Haldeman, The Forever War (1974)
Matsamune Shiro, Ghost in the Shell (1989-91)
Katsuhiro Otomo, Akira (1982-1990)
Octavia Butler, Lilith's Brood (1987-89) and Parable of the Sower (1993)
Poul Anderson, Operation Chaos (1971)
Hector Garman Oesterheld & Francisco Solano Lopez, The Eternaut (1957-59)
Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem (2008)
Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, The Illuminatus! Trilogy (1975)
William Hope Hodgson, The House on the Borderland (1908)
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash (1992)
Joanna Russ, The Female Man (1975)
Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game (1985) [Please take this one from a library]
Edgar Rice Burroughs, A Princess of Mars (1912)
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale (1985) and Oryx and Crake (2003)
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World (1932)
Osamu Tezuka, Astro Boy (1952-68)
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time (1962)
Walter M. Miller, A Canticle for Leibowitz (1959)
Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979)

Princesse Sarah
« Princesse Sarah est une série télévisée d’animation japonaise en 46 épisodes de 24 minutes, créée en 1985 par Ryūzō Nakanishi d'après le roman La Petite Princesse de Frances Hodgson Burnett (1888), et réalisée par Fumio Kurokawa.
En 1885, dans l'Angleterre de l’époque victorienne, la jeune Sarah Crewe intègre le pensionnat pour jeunes filles de Mlle Mangin après avoir passé les huit premières années de sa vie en Inde britannique aux côtés de son père, le capitaine anglais Ralph Crewe. En raison du prestige dû à la fortune de son père, Sarah dispose de privilèges par rapport aux autres élèves : une suite personnelle, un attelage avec un poney et la possibilité de sortir en ville comme elle l'entend.
Sarah s'adapte progressivement à cette nouvelle vie, se liant d'amitié aussi bien avec la plupart de ses camarades issues de familles aisées, notamment Marguerite Saint-John et Lottie Legh, qu'avec les deux jeunes domestiques proches de son âge issus de milieu modeste, la bonne Becky et son cocher personnel Peter, grâce à sa gentillesse et sa bonté. Elle est également appréciée de ses professeurs, notamment le professeur de français Mr Dufarge, admiratif sa maîtrise de la langue de Molière qu'elle a en raison des origines françaises de sa défunte mère. Son traitement de faveur suscite toutefois la jalousie de sa camarade Lavinia Herbert tandis qu'un malentendu lui attire l'antipathie de Mlle Mangin.
Le jour du onzième anniversaire de Sarah, un des avocats du capitaine Crewe arrive avec de mauvaises nouvelles : le capitaine Crewe est mort d'une maladie tropicale. De plus, son ami a disparu avec la fortune du capitaine, laissant Sarah sans le sou. Enragée, Miss Minchin pense jeter Sarah à la rue, mais se laisse convaincre de la garder chez elle comme servante. Elle reprend alors toutes les affaires de Sarah et l'envoie loger au grenier, dans une mansarde misérable à côté de celle de Becky.
Depuis lors, Sarah devient la bonne à tout faire de l'école, chargée notamment d'enseigner le français dans lequel elle excelle, mais surtout abrutie de corvées. Elle manque de nourriture et de vêtements décents, et est exploitée comme pouvaient l'être les enfants à cette époque. La plupart des autres domestiques de l'école, voyant cela comme une revanche sociale, prennent plaisir à donner des ordres à Sarah, et beaucoup de ses anciennes camarades la méprisent. »
Accablée par le désespoir, Sarah saura-t-elle trouver la force de traverser toutes ces épreuves ? Et au nom de quoi ?

Princesse Sarah - Hana no sasayaki (Le murmure de la fleur)
Dans un coin de mon cœur Fleurit une petite fleur dont j'ai oublié le nom Lorsque je suis triste Je dépose un pétale de cette fleur au coin de mes yeux Et mes larmes disparaissent
Quand les larmes me viennent J'ai parfois l'impression que je pleurerai toute ma vie Mais tant que j'aurai cette fleur dans un coin de mon cœur Je resterai fort et je continuerai à vivre
Je regarde les étoiles et fais une prière Que demain soit un autre jour Et la fleur rouge qui fleurit dans un coin de mon cœur Me murmure en retour « Quand tu perds espoir, n'oublie jamais que tu n'es pas seul »
Bien sûr, je voudrais être heureux Mais il y a des choses plus importantes que le bonheur Est-ce l'amour ? Est-ce la gentillesse ? Si je continue à vivre je trouverai peut-être la réponse
youtube
Princesse Sarah - Himawari (Tournesol)
Lorsque l'on parcourt une longue route Le temps passe plus vite en chantant une chanson Et en cueillant des fleurs sur le bord du chemin
Vers où me mène-t-il ? Nul ne le sait Mais je continue mon chemin, sans regarder en arrière
Le tournesol qui fleurit dans le jardin Se rit bien de l'insecte froussard Il contemple le soleil quoi qu'il arrive
Ah, la voix de ma mère Ah, la voix de mon père Ah, résonne encore à mes oreilles « N'abandonne pas »
Même si le chemin est long, même si le chemin est dur En continuant à marcher, j'en verrai bien la fin Et alors un beau paysage m'attendra
Quel sera ce paysage ? Nul ne le sait Peut-être aura-t-il la couleur de mes rêves
Le tournesol qui fleurit dans le jardin Se rit bien de l'insecte pleurnicheur Il n'oublie jamais de sourire quoi qu'il arrive
Ah, la voix de ma mère Ah, la voix de mon père Ah, résonne encore à mes oreilles « N'abandonne pas »
Ah, la voix de ma mère Ah, la voix de mon père Ah, résonne encore à mes oreilles « N'abandonne pas »
