Would appreciate a RT from the scientists for this one! We have 665 scientists in the spring database and I want to get us to about 1000 before we set the teachers loose on the database for January matches.

Looking for suggestions for good sci-fi books (recent-ish, assume we've read a lot of the classics)! Particularly fond of time dilation
