Science Fiction Novels
Filed under General • 29-10-2007 •
A few months ago, I published a list of my favourite short story collections and a list of my favourite individual short stories. And now, I present a list of my favourite SF novels, in the hope that these three posts will go some way to answering the question: “which SF writers have most influenced your work?“
- Nova by Samuel Delany
- Neuromancer by William Gibson
- Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
- Nova Swing by M John Harrison
- Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds
- Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
- The Ringworld Engineers by Larry Niven
- The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester
- Consider Phlebas by Ian M Banks
- Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon
- Gateway by Frederik Pohl
- The Star Fraction by Ken MacLeod
