What are some of your favorite science fiction books and why? If you had to pick only a few. As of writing this post my favorites are the following.

The Quantum Magician
Three Body Problem
Children of Time

I tend to like in-depth explanations of the fictional science that exists in-universe as well as a good mystery.

I wouldn't call AJ a light read, just because you spend so much time wrapping your brain around what the narrator is doing and the cultures are so deliberately weird. All the more rewarding for it though imo.

well compared to some of the really dense classic sci-fi I considered it a light read lol.
