I’m new to scifi books, and books in general. (only got into reading 3 years ago) I’ve read dune, the dispossessed , a fire upon the deep and the stars my destination. I’m currently reading the left hand of darkness . What should i read next? Suggest me some of your must-reads.
A Fire Upon the Deep represent! Now you must read A Deepness in the Sky. Must.
In a spider related vein, Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, plus pretty much anything else by him. I cried my eyes out about those little spiders.
Snow Crash and Seven Eves by Neil Stephenson
Andy Weir’s novels are light and entertaining: Project Hail Mary and The Martian, for example. They’re palate cleansers for after the 1984s of literature.
Kindred by Octavia E. Butler is a great read.
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott Abbott is close to sci-fi and from the 1880s. It’s a short read and, being a math nerd, I really enjoyed it.
