    THE elevator continued its impossibly slow ascent. Or at least I imagined it was ascent. There was no telling for sure: it was so slow that all sense of direction simply vanished. It could have been g...

    Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

    Halting State
    Book 1 in the series:Halting State

    Halting State - Halting State by Charles Stross
    Save:

    A clever, genre-blending sci-fi thriller that’s immersive, inventive, and geeky - but its bold narrative style and tech-heavy world make it best for readers who already love gaming or near-future tech. Not for everyone, but a treat for the right crowd!

    You are sitting, half-asleep, in an armchair. Your eyes are closed, and you feel very unsteady. Your head’s full of a postviral haze, the cotton-wool of slowed reflexes and dulled awareness. In stark...

    Rule 34
    Book 2 in the series:Halting State

    Rule 34 - Halting State by Charles Stross
    Save:

    A smart, weird, and gritty cyber-thriller that's as challenging as it is inventive - Rule 34 is perfect for tech-literate readers who appreciate bold storytelling and don't mind working for their payoff.

    You don’t usually sit in on the West End control centre, directing constables to shoplifting scenes and chasing hit-and-run cyclists. Nominally you’re in charge of the Rule 34 Squad: the booby-prize t...

    Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Blade Runner by Philip K. Dick
    Save:

    A classic sci-fi novel that mashes up futuristic noir, philosophy, and a dash of weirdness - perfect for deep thinkers, but not everyone will vibe with its style or pacing. If Blade Runner intrigued you, the book is both familiar and full of surprises.

    A merry little surge of electricity piped by automatic alarm from the mood organ beside his bed awakened Rick Deckard. Surprised—it always surprised him to find himself awake without prior notice—he r...

    Homeland
    Book 2 in the series:Little Brother

    Homeland - Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
    Save:

    A thought-provoking, nervy sequel that mixes hacking, activism, and real-world paranoia. It’s not for everyone, but if you want a YA read that gets you thinking (and Googling), "Homeland" deserves a spot on your shelf.

    I adjusted my burnoose, covering up my nose and mouth and tucking its edge into place under the lower rim of my big, scratched goggles. The sun was high, the temperature well over a hundred degrees, a...

    Altered Carbon - Takeshi Kovacs by Richard K. Morgan
    Save:

    Cyber-noir meets body-swapping future: a stylish, action-packed sci-fi mystery that’s as thought-provoking as it is brutal. Not for the faint of heart, but a great pick for fans of gritty, philosophical thrillers.

    In the Envoy Corps they teach you to let go before storage. Stick it in neutral and float. It’s the first lesson and the trainers drill it into you from day one. Hard-eyed Virginia Vidaura, dancer’s b...

    Yukikaze
    Book 1 in the series:Yukikaze

    Yukikaze - Yukikaze by Chōhei Kambayashi
    Save:

    A cerebral, moody, and ultimately mesmerizing slice of military science fiction that balances air combat thrills with thoughtful meditations on humanity, technology, and isolation - definitely worth the read if you're up for a challenge.

    TWENTY-FOUR ASSAULT fighter planes in combat formation punched their way through the skies toward an enemy base. They were units attached to the Faery Air Force’s Tactical Frontline Base TAB-16, 1666t...

  10. A dazzling, complex, and thought-provoking sci-fi adventure that’s heavy on big ideas but may leave some readers wishing for a clearer path and a stronger landing. Worth it for the world-building alone!
