For instance, Jules Verne wrote about lots of 'impossible' journeys, which made for good science fiction.

Wells differed from Jules Verne in that he was more inclined to let his fantasy loose.

From what I gather Jules Verne was actually pretty on top of the technology at the time.

I guess we're at the point where Jules Verne was in the late 19th century; we like to dream big.

I read all Jules Verne novels I could get my hands on when I was 14-16 years old (for those who have not read Verne, they are very dry and detailed books).

I've always wanted to try it since reading about it in a Jules Verne novel.

Nor is something being science fiction evidence that it's actually scientifically impossible (Jules Verne was actually right in a large proportion of sci-fi predictions he made!).

(already finished Pynchon, and Burgess; Verne has some great political philosophy too.

It's not like Da Vinci where mechanical flying machines are so far off from reality that you can suspend disbelief, it's more like Verne where it's close enough to reality to make it feel silly now.

The Mysterious Island - Jules Verne Neuromancer - William Gibson Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell Perdido Street Station - China Mieville Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card Foundation series - Asimov among others...

Interestingly, Jules Verne (the then equivalent for technology- and exploration-worshipping hard sci-fi authors of today) was reaching the height of his output around that same decade (and the next), with some of his most significant works having been already published in the 15 years preceding it.

Tom Vasel called Sid Sackson "the Jules Verne of modern board gaming", which is so right.

I've been reading more science fiction from "classic" authors lately - everyone knows that Jules Verne wrote science fiction but what about Edgar Allan Poe?

Much like I read Greek myths (or Jules Verne, for that matter) and wonder sometimes how anyone could believe them (though I also understand that the word "belief" is perhaps not the right word when talking about the mindset of ancient Greeks when relating to their mythology), I read Gibson and just think: "This is how my Grandmother thinks about computers".

Jules Verne, HG Wells, or Gernsback (creator of Amazing Stories) might take that honor.

It was definitely an age of great enthusiasm about technology and progress, and I think Verne's books capture that energy pretty well.

What about firing the rocket from Jules Verne's space gun[0]?
