Can you recommend some good sci-fi novels?

Sure. 'Artemis' by Andy Weir is also from 2018. It takes place on the moon, specifically in the city of Artemis. The main character, Jazz, is a smuggler who gets caught up in a dangerous plot. It has a great blend of science fiction elements like moon colony technology and a fast - paced plot.

Sure. 'Luna: New Moon' by Ian McDonald. It's set on a colonized moon and has an interesting take on lunar society and politics.

Some excellent sci fi novels include 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson. It combines cyberpunk elements with a complex plot set in a near - future world. 'The War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells is an oldie but a goodie, with its terrifying vision of a Martian invasion. And 'Hyperion' by Dan Simmons, which has an epic scope, multiple storylines, and a lot of thought - provoking ideas about the future and the nature of existence.

Well, 'Altered Carbon' is a very good sci fi light novel. It delves into the idea of consciousness transfer and immortality in a far - flung future society. 'Hyperion' is another excellent choice. It weaves together multiple storylines and has some deep philosophical themes set against a vast sci - fi backdrop. Then there's 'Ready Player One', which is set in a virtual reality - dominated future and is filled with 80s pop - culture references.

Well, 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson is a weird and great sci fi novel. It combines a lot of different elements like virtual reality, ancient Sumerian language and mythology, and a post - apocalyptic society. The idea of the Metaverse in this book was really ahead of its time. And then there's 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. The way the book is formatted is really strange, with footnotes that seem to go on forever and the story within a story about a house that defies the laws of physics makes it a truly weird sci fi read.

Well, 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir is a very good new sci fi novel. It's about an astronaut on a desperate mission to save Earth. 'Leviathan Wakes' by James S.A. Corey is also excellent. It has a great story set in a future where humans have colonized the solar system and there are all kinds of political and scientific intrigues. And 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' by Becky Chambers is a heartwarming and thought - provoking sci fi novel that focuses on the relationships between different species on a spaceship.

Well, 'Ender's Game' has some elements of romance within its sci - fi framework. The relationship between Ender and some of the other characters has a touch of the romantic. 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' also has a bit of a romantic angle, especially when it comes to the relationship between Arthur Dent and Fenchurch. And then there's 'A Wrinkle in Time', where the main character Meg has a special bond with some of the other characters that can be seen as having a romantic undertone.

Sure. 'The Martian' by Andy Weir is a great one. The main character is stranded on Mars, adrift in a sense, and has to use his scientific knowledge to survive. Another is 'Ender's Game' which has elements of a young boy being adrift in a complex military and interstellar political situation. And 'Hyperion' by Dan Simmons also features characters adrift in a vast and dangerous universe.

Well, 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams can be considered a sci fi formula novel. Its formula is based on absurd and humorous takes on space travel, alien races, and the meaning of life. For example, the concept of the 'Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything' being 42 is a very unique and humorous part of its formula.

Sure. 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le Guin is a great one. It explores gender and society in a unique sci - fi setting on a planet where people have no fixed gender. Another is 'Ancillary Justice' by Ann Leckie. It features a complex story with interesting characters and a unique take on artificial intelligence. And 'Parable of the Sower' by Octavia E. Butler, which is set in a dystopian future and follows the journey of a young woman.
