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 Children of Time were both great!

    I also really enjoyed Jack McDevitt’s “Hutch” series, starting with The Engines of God. Great concepts with exploring alien ruins.

    Check out Jessie Mihalik’s Polaris Rising, too. It blurs the lines between sf and romance which might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but what I adored was how the main character’s use of technology felt authentic to me. That’s rare in science fiction.
