Veracohr Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 A thought just occurred to me that I'd to read specifically some first contact science fiction. As in: human beings meeting an alien race for the first time. Not alien invasion, but a meeting of a more congenial nature. I'm not sure why I suddenly want such a specific story, but does anyone have a suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Your post is rather old but just in case you are still interested in such a story: try Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. I appreciate his other books more, especially the Space Odyssey books but it's still an interesting read. If that doesn't satisfy you try this list: https://www.sfsite.com/~silverag/contact.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Cool, thanks. It's funny that recently I watched the movie Arrival, and it was pretty much exactly what I wanted when I made this post. Except maybe the super-sentimental parts.

Tatsu Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I need to see Arrival too, I'm a sucker for sci-fi... My favourites are post-apocalyptical stories but I like the genre in general. Have you seen Contact? And older Movie (1997) with Jodie Foster, it's based on the book with the same name by Carl Sagan. It's been a while since I saw it but it was pretty good, the book is still on my reading list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Oh yeah, Contact is great! I've seen the movie & read the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
