The 15 Best Sci-Fi Books I've Ever Read [Updated]

there's a prequel called the deepness in the sky that is also excellent

it's the equivalent of one guy building an Eiffel Tower or something I'd struggle to understand how one author could have come up with all of this huge raft of ideas and made it fit cohesively into one story in one book

nothing has actually subjectively changed my own experience of life and of myself as much as blindsight... it all builds towards the best ending of any book that I've ever read

I didn't expect to consider this a total Masterpiece but I do and I did

it's a beautiful novel simac is considered a pastoralist science fiction author so everything is rural slow gentle and kind of sentimental soft and sad... it's a great book

both are wonderful especially eyes of the Overworld

the reason it's number 15 is as excellent as it is and as much as I like it I don't I get this feeling from books that I truly love where it just lingers and lingers and lingers and lingers and dune does not quite linger

I couldn't believe how little of a resemblance it actually Bears the character of Frankenstein's monster is totally different than in the movies he speaks he's full of Pathos and longing and wounded feelings

this is another one that packs probably three books worth of World building and cool ideas into Just One slim Sleek little action story it never really slows down it gets more and more interesting and better and better and better as you go through the book

it has the best Pros I think of any book any science fiction book that I've read it's it's the most distinct... I'm completely in awe of Gibson's prose talent

wonderful book written experimentally to the prose is as weird in a lot of places as the actual World building and characters

there is simply something about this book that is completely special to it that can't fully be described... it is a true Masterpiece not just of Science Fiction but of fiction

it is a masterpiece and it's actually climbed up higher on the list since the last one because I just find myself thinking about it all the time

it's this big giant Rich luscious world where there is a lot of mystery and there's a lot that is left unexplained... Jack Vance writes with this flourish that's hard to describe

both are wonderful especially eyes of the Overworld which pivots into being just straight fantasy

it just blasts right by you and through you I read it in I think 72 hours I couldn't get away from the book and that's pretty rare

if I were to hand one book to someone who didn't read science fiction and interest them in Reading science fiction it would probably be this book because it's not difficult and it packs so much in it's so thrilling it's so cool

I really love it and I hope I hope you've read it already if you haven't you should read it

this one I actually read in one sitting which I don't think I've done with any other book except maybe the world inside by Robert silverberg read it in one sitting
