Must Read

Books

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

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

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.

Elder Race

By Adrian Tchaikovsky

A junior anthropologist from a far more advanced society is the last member of his crew on a distant planet. Now he must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an unbeatable foe.

Velocity Weapon Series

By Megan O O'Keefe

Dazzling space battles, intergalactic politics, and rogue AI collide in Velocity Weapon, an epic space opera trilogy by award-winning author Megan O'Keefe.

Murderbot Diaries Series

By Martha Wells

Scornful of humans, all Muderbot really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when the humans get in trouble, it's up to Murderbot to save them.
