The city we have become by NK Jemisin

NK Jemisin is especially known for her amazing Broken Earth trilogy (which is also worth adding to your reading list). The city we have become – a novel of an earlier short story by Jemisin – re-imagines New York City as a living, breathing entity, personified by a diverse collection of people from across the five districts as they battle to defeat the city of another worldly enemy save.

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

If you have not read Gideon the Ninth, the first book in Muir’s Closed tomb trilogy, read it first. You will probably not need any encouragement at that point to dive into the second book, Harrow the Ninth, which continues where the first book left off, while surpassing its predecessor in staggering mysteries, inventive sci-fi horror, and Muir’s personal mark of crackling style and mind.

Axiom’s end by Lindsay Ellis

This debut novel by video essayist Lindsay Ellis depicts an alien first contact opportunity in an alternate 2007 version, capturing the political and cultural flavor of the period, while exploring what it really means to be human – or alien .

From a certain point of view: The Empire strikes back

A love letter to The Empire Strikes Back (much like the original From a certain point of view is around A new hope), From a certain point of view: The Empire strikes back contains 40 short stories by 40 authors who dive into new facets of the film, from Wampa ice cream to Boba Fett to Willrow Hood.

A beautiful foolish attempt by Hank Green

Another sequel here, so you’ll probably want to look for Green’s first book, An absolutely remarkable thing, before diving inside. (Think of these as two recommendations for the price of one!) Both books explore the consequences of April May encountering a strange, alien statue (named Carl) – while also exploring how social media and fame can change. how we deal with and view the world.

To sleep in a sea of stars by Christopher Paolini

Paolini’s first novel since his popular Inheritance cycle moving from dragons to deep space and from YA novels to a more mature audience. Xenobiologist Kira Navárez encounters a strange alien religion, and things quickly turn into a war that could determine the fate of the interstellar civilization of mankind. At almost 900 pages, it is a perfect book to hide during the holidays.

The hidden girl and other stories by Ken Liu

Liu has already become one of the biggest names in sci-fi and fantasy short stories, from his first collection, The Paper Menagerie. The Hidden Girl and Other Stories, his latest collection, contains 17 new stories that look at artificial intelligence, classical mythology and more in a new light.

Subcutaneous by Aaron A. Reed

Subcutaneous may be the most unique book of 2020 – or maybe ever – literally. Reed describes it as a ‘permutational novel’, with each copy of the novel containing its own unique text. Some differences from copy to copy will be large, others small, although the whole story remains largely the same.

Network effect by Martha Wells

Murderbot – a self-conscious artificially intelligent killing machine – is one of the best scientific heroes in recent memory. Murderbot was already the star of Wells Murderbot Diaries short stories, but Network effect gives a proper full-length novel to the cynical TV marathon robot who just wants a breather. Best of all, it’s an independent position, so you will not have read the first few novels – but you will probably have to do so, as it is just as excellent.

The ballad of snakes and songbirds by Suzanne Collins

The return to The Hunger Gamesa world of Panem comes almost a full decade after the release of Mockingjay. But instead of another action-packed dive into the arena, The ballad of snakes and songbirds is a prequel that focuses on the future president Snow’s rise to power – and the political and social forces that forged the Hunger Games.

Oewerval by Robert Jackson Bennett

Oewerval is technically a fantasy novel, but I include it anyway because it takes place in a magical world that is much more based on computer coding and AI than on swords and elves. It’s an almost cyberpunk attack on the genre in a city filled with magical computers and supplements. Virtually everything in the city of Tevanne is a programmed AI of some kind, and massive, menacing mega-corporations wrestle with each other as they rule the city. Start with Foundry side, the first book in the series, Before You Go Oewerval, which makes everything rattle another notch.
