What are your favorite sci-fi novels?

Not necessarily the classics you *think* you should say (we'll leave those for Twitter/X), but rather the ones you actually read and loved.

inherit the stars by james hogan. i love the 70s sci fi novels, they’re kinda made fun of, but i got a huge stack of them for a dollar each at my thrift bookstore, and they were so fun.

Contact by Carl Sagan. As always, the book is far better than the movie.

The Frontiers Saga by Ryk Brown. This story is just amazing. Every book you think that the story possibly cannot grow any more and still every few books the universe have grown by order of magnitude. And it’s 39 books down, all self published.

I have a soft spot for some of Greg Egan’s work like Permutation City, Diaspora, and short story collections like Axiomatic and Luminous. Highly recommended for sci-fi that really makes you think and sticks with you.

This is not a novel but thought some of the ideas in Mass Effect were interesting. The ideas sort of landed somewhere between The Expanse and Star Trek. Some of the actual storytelling was a bit shallow in a few places but similar ideas, if further developed, might be interesting.
