8 Most Entertaining Sci-Fi Books of the 21st Century (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Science fiction writers imagine the future in order to explore humanity’s present and past, providing a mix of cautionary tales and social commentary. Books about artificial intelligence, alien encounters, and galaxy-spanning wars are often filled with dense explanations of theoretical technologies or complex political factions.
