Some 2014 sci - fi novels are worth checking out. For instance, 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' by Becky Chambers. It's a heartwarming story about a crew on a spaceship making a long journey. The characters are diverse and well - developed. Then there's 'The Girl with All the Gifts' by M. R. Carey. It has a unique take on the zombie apocalypse genre, with a scientific twist. And 'Red Rising' by Pierce Brown, which is set in a future where society is divided into strict castes and the main character rebels against it.
Sure. 'The Three - Body Problem' by Liu Cixin was published in 2014. It's a mind - blowing exploration of extraterrestrial intelligence and the potential response of humanity. Also, 'Wool' by Hugh Howey is a great dystopian sci - fi novel from that year. It focuses on a society living in a silo underground. Well, there's also 'Lock In' by John Scalzi that deals with a world where a percentage of the population is 'locked in' to their own bodies but can interact via other means.
