8 MODERN SCI-FI BOOKS | Recommendations by Subgenre

something that really worked for me in children of time was how we got to follow this human story as well as learn about this spider society and how these two intertwine i love following the spiders getting to see them evolve over time

similarly to project hail mary i feel the strength of this book was its pacing i absolutely blew through it felt like i was reading a screenplay or a christopher nolan film like memento or inception this one hits the ground running and doesn't let up

i absolutely loved books two and three absolute five star reads i was blown away by the dark forest and absolutely loved death's end as well

this one might not appeal to everyone as it's pulpy it's trashy it's tropy but most of all i think it's fun this takes a bit of a kitchen sink approach to storytelling but i think it has some weird and wonderful sci-fi concepts and some cool and crazy characters

it has some amazing concepts and some of the sci-fi ideas in this book really blew me away and i think it's going to appeal to pretty much everyone because it has beautiful prose really well thought out characters some rich themes and epic world building

i don't think i'm exaggerating when i say that this book blew my mind nearly every 50 pages i couldn't believe not only the quantity but the quality of the sci-fi concepts and so many cool ideas were just rattling around in my brain for weeks after i finished reading it

personally i didn't find many of the characters particularly likeable and there wasn't a ton of plot progression but if you enjoy post-apocalyptic stories with rich settings that explore deep themes and are beautifully written then i think oryx and craig could be a hit for you

i think the genius of this book is how andy weir makes the science accessible to me it never felt like i was reading a textbook or story got slowed down by scientific exposition it was always told in a really interesting way

i absolutely loved books two and three absolute five star reads i was blown away by the dark forest

i really enjoyed the first book it was a solid four star book for me
