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.

    ‘Consider Phlebas’ is my top 1 favorite book and I’m more a fantasy guy. Incredible 80s action adventure (it’s from 1987) with philosophical musings, cool sci-fi world and good humor. And as a plus he creates awesome visual scenes, although I’m not good at mind images.

      That is one of my all time favorites too. So many cool images which still come back to me even though it’s been many years since I read it.
