    I had loved Forever War and was reading The Long Habit of Living (Buying Time, in the US), twenty years ago, when I developed Wegener's and started 'dying' (it had a 90% mortality rate and an average survival time of 5 months).

    His writing (and perhaps more importantly, his attitude) had a huge influence on me.

    Thank you, Joe. I hope you make it.

    Considering how painful both of those conditions are, I damn well HOPE they're keeping him sedated. Yowch. Morphine and other fun stuff aren't going to touch that. Being completely still is what he needs most right now to heal up. And it prolly takes sedation to keep him still.

    Get well soon, Joe! I was introduced to his books by the man himself at a Boston book store. Real nice fellow. He told me to read The Forever War and it immediately became a favorite. I highly recommend The Accidental Time Machine and Camouflage. Perfect, breezy-fun sci fi.

    I truly send him my best hopes. I just read Forever War for the first time and was blown away. When I get to work tomorrow I plan on grabbing every other book we have that he wrote and tearing through them.

    I actually just staff recommended him too. :)

    There's no way he's allowed to die before Forever War makes it to the screen. No deal.

    "while the actual people (and robot, in Bender's case)"

    I would suggest that Bender is clearly a person, just not a human person.

    Wow. This list hit the mark in so many ridiculous ways I can't even start. Well played. :D

    Much love for including ZERO-enabled mobile suits on the list too; I had all but forgotten about them. And much much love for including GiTS on the list; I think you were right yesterday - more intuitive inclusion on this list than yesterday's. And Gally! Well done. ::salutes::

    Neon Genesis Evangelion only gets honorable mention?! well let me tell you,,,,,,uh, wait.....wait no, Evas aren't remote-controlled at all if you're "piloting"them that would have to be under yesterday's "things to download your soul into"....my mistake.

    But why doesn't Io9 have a dedicated anime column? You like Gundam, you like Ghost in the Shelll....

    @CodenameV: yet you take time away from reporting on anime stuff to report on a bad Witches of Eastwick remake, et al....anime is great, but just as the Oscars dont' consider scifi to be "mature", scifi doesn't like anime.

    @CodenameV: Evangelion sucks. The mecha/aliens plot is used quite a bit - maybe Evangelion was the first, I don't know, but there is a lot of sci-fi anime out there.

    Evangelion sucks. (I just had to repeat it)
