That NPR list of 100 best sci-fi/fantasy books, boiled down to a flowchart

Regarding that NPR list of 100 best science-fiction/fantasy books, there's now a handy-dandy flowchart to help you figure out which ones you might like.

Here's an example of a particular thread, assuming you've gone down the sci-fi side:

Cyberpunk? No, I get enough "cyber punks" on Facebook. . . .

Ready to blast into space? Yes

War buff? Yes

Who shall we fight?

-> Man v. bugs = Heinlein, Starship Troopers

-> Man v. far away bugs = Card, Ender's Game

-> Man v. alien = Haldeman, The Forever War

-> Spiritual v. colonial = Herbert, Dune

-> Human v. human = Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (note to self: need to read my copy of this)

-> Everyone = Scalzi, Old Man's War
