I’m new to scifi books, and books in general. (only got into reading 3 years ago) I’ve read dune, the dispossessed , a fire upon the deep and the stars my destination. I’m currently reading the left hand of darkness . What should i read next? Suggest me some of your must-reads.

    A few:

    1. The Unincorporated Man by Dani and Eytan Kollin. The story and parallels of society really slap.

    2. Lightning by Dean Koontz. Not exactly known for sci-fi per se, but this one checks lots of boxes including time travel.

    3. The Dosadi Experiment by Frank Herbert. A good non-Dune choice.

    4. Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey. A great space opera.

    5. Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers series. It’s Trek with a different angle and adventure from the series leaders.

    6. Warm Bodies by author Isaac Marion. Probably controversial but i dig the way it did the zombie genre. Darker than the movie.

    7. The Sequence by Lucien Telford. A hidden gem really. Gene editing thriller sci-fi.

    On my backlog:

    • The Last Policeman by Ben H. Winters
    • Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
    • Junkyard Pirate by Jamie McFarlane
