Science Fiction Books
Science fiction imagines what could be — and what probably shouldn't be. From hard science extrapolations to speculative thought experiments, these stories use technology, space, and the future as lenses to examine what makes us human. The best sci-fi doesn't predict the future. It warns about the present.
