What are some of your favorite science fiction books and why? If you had to pick only a few. As of writing this post my favorites are the following.

  • The Quantum Magician
  • Three Body Problem
  • Children of Time

I tend to like in-depth explanations of the fictional science that exists in-universe as well as a good mystery.

    “The Dispossessed” by Ursula K. Le Guin is maybe the best political sci-fi book I’ve ever read. Cory Doctorow’s “Walkaway” is also quite good and feels a bit like its spiritual successor.

      I just finished The Dispossessed. I am simply in awe at how wonderful that story felt as I read it. I am about to dive into Ursula K Le Guin’s catalog now.

        Haven’t read The Dispossessed yet, but love Le Guin’s work ever since I read The Lathe of Heaven and The Word for World is Forest, can’t recommend these enough. Am reading through a collection of her short stories now.

        Anyone interested in a general Le Guin discussion thread, or a reading group type thing where we discuss a different book each month?
