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 really enjoyed Project Hail Mary.

I recently read Artemis by Andy Weir, but the protagonist had so much teenage angst that it was difficult to finish despite its short length. I'll have to try one of his more popular books instead.

I haven’t read Artemis but I’ve seen multiple people say that it is his weakest work. There is no teenage angst in this one.

Loved it too. Easily most enjoyable book that year.

Didn't know about this, going to go out and get this one, thanks! I really enjoyed reading The Martian by the same author way back when.
