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.

    • Three Body Problem (and sequels, especially The Dark Forest:) it’s good scifi, though I worry that a lot of people missed the message.
    • Consider Phlebas/Use Of Weapons: tragic space opera is my favorite kind.
    • Gideon The Ninth: sci-fantasy popcorn with a sass-mouthed narrator.
    • Providence: Fresh take on ubiquitous scifi tropes, and I’m a fan of Max Barry’s punchy writing style.

      How do you feel people missed the message?

        I sometimes see people saying Wade was right or that he would have saved the day or some such.
