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.

    I’m a big fan of world building and well fleshed out settings and characters. I love getting lost in descriptive and unique imagery.

    • Hyperion by Dan Simmons - feels like such a lived-in universe, some interesting tales, and a horrifying antagonist in the Shrike.
    • Neuromancer by William Gibson - cyberpunk ahead of its time, great story, incredible atmosphere.
