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 love the Xeelee Sequence by Stephen Baxter, as well as the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov.

I had someone recommend Xeelee Sequence to me recently. It looks quite daunting in length, but it is definitely on my list for some day.

The Vacuum Diagrams is a short story anthology that spans the whole saga. I feel like it’s a good introduction to it.
