Ministry for the Future
Ministry for the Future
By Kim Stanley Robinson
Not only is this an amazingly written, exciting cli-fi story, it's also incredibly thought-provoking. It pains a dramatic picture of how climate change will affect a world. The events in this story could be just around the corner.
Alien Clay
Alien Clay
By Adrian Tchaikovsky
I love the writing style of Adrian Tchaikovsky and this story is fascinating. Aside from the great sci-fi elements, the introspection into a fascist state has a lot of scary parallels to today.
Project Hail Mary
Project Hail Mary
By Andy Weir
Another super interesting story from Andy Weir (author of The Martian). Nicole liked this one but didn't like the Martian, whereas I liked the Martian better but this is still a great read.
