Classic Science Fiction - 1980-1989

Best Sci-Fi of the 1980's

This list is for Science Fiction only. When this list was originally created it was expected to have both Fantasy and Science Fiction. However there are pretty good fantasy specific lists that should be used instead. As a librarian when questioning a particular book, look at how it's shelved. If it's shelved at least 20% as science fiction, call it out on the discussion rather than deleting.
