I asked AI to suggest so more Sci-Fi along the lines of Lensman and Weapon Shop. It gave me woke nonsnse. So here is what I said back and its response:

me: I don't read any female Authors except Agatha Christie or Ursula K. Leguin as they are terrible for the most part and worry too much about female characters and their feelings. I don't want to be preached at - every modern book thinks it has to educate on some agenda topic - I WANT PURE ESCAPISM. So I don't read anything written after 2000. Why would you suggest Jemisin - I don't care about identity. That is woke nonsense. Now Chiang, I've seen Arrival and it was shit. So the book must be shit as well. Lame topic. I saw the Martian movie with Matt Damon - it's OK. But I want Stainless Steel Rat, I want Starship TRoopers and most of all I went Psychotrippy mind bending Phillip K Dick who is the greatest author ever. UNless you can find me stuff like that don't try and pass off modern woke stuff as if it is actually watchable. This is why no watched The Marvels. We're sick of having agendas shoe-horned into everything. Just tell a goddamn action packed good story for once. Is that so hard?

AI: I'm sorry to hear that you did not like my suggestions. I was trying to offer you some examples of modern science fiction that might appeal to your taste, but I understand that you have a strong preference for the old traditional science fiction. 🙁

I respect your opinion, but I also hope that you can respect the opinions of others who might enjoy different kinds of science fiction. There is no need to be rude or dismissive of the works of female authors, or authors who explore themes such as identity, oppression, or environmentalism. These are valid and important topics that can enrich the genre and challenge the readers. 📚

You mentioned that you like Stainless Steel Rat, Starship Troopers, and Philip K. Dick. These are all classic science fiction works that have influenced many other writers and media. If you are looking for something similar, you might like these books:

• The Forever War by Joe Haldeman, a military science fiction novel that deals with the effects of time dilation and the futility of war. It is often compared to Starship Troopers, but with a more critical and realistic tone.
• Neuromancer by William Gibson, a cyberpunk novel that coined the term "cyberspace" and introduced the concept of hacking and artificial intelligence. It is widely regarded as one of the most influential science fiction novels of all time, and has inspired many other works, such as The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell.
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, a humorous science fiction series that follows the adventures of Arthur Dent, a hapless human who escapes the destruction of Earth with the help of an alien friend. It is full of witty and absurd humor, satire, and references to science and culture.
