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.

    Just some of my favourites:

    • The Forever War - Joe Haldeman: Basically the vastly better Starship Troopers. Just don’t read the sequel.

    • Old Man’s War - John Scalzi: Very much feels like an modern update of The Forever War

    • Cities in Flight - James Blish: I just love the bonker’s idea of whole cities declaring their independence from Earth and just buggering off into space

    • Ubik - Philip K. Dick: Hard to pick a favourite Dick, but this one just has all the mindfuckery and weirdness of that particular author in a perfect blend
