The Florida sun bears down on you as the ocean breeze does little to alleviate the heat. It's year 1984, and it's extremely HOT outside.

Well then! A scifi fan you say? Let's see... How about this one? It's called "The Stars My Destination" by Alfred Bester. The plot revolves around a man who can teleport, and his quest for vengeance against those responsible for killing his family. It's an absolute classic of the genre!

"This is one of my personal favorites," she says, pulling out a battered copy of Das Kapital by Karl Marx. "It really opened my eyes to the injustices inherent in capitalist systems." She flips through the yellowing pages, her fingers lingering on each page as if they were sacred relics.
