Technothrillers: Best of All Time
• not a challenge list, don't vote for just 1 book, don't care
• vote for at least 3 books and rank your picks best to worst
• select only books you read, rated 3+, with 500+ ratings
Techno-thrillers explore the ramifications of emerging technology, science, or natural phenomena in a story where your pulse races to thriller intensity at least briefly. The genre tends toward the relatively near-reaching possibilities of sci-fi, and usually includes enough technical detail/explanation to satisfy your inner geek. This is not your classic crime mystery novel. Not a galaxy far, far away. Not a fantasy. Nothing magical. Plausible physics on/near Earth in roughly the near present/future. It can be also be non-fiction, or yes, sometimes it can indeed be rather far-fetched.

Please, per the guidance, do not for just one book. I don’t care if you read 1 book. What we care about is the rank order of the books on the list. So, we want you to pick at least a few books and rank them best to worst. If you’ve only read one book from this list … then … maybe you’re not well-read enough in the genre to really tell us what’s better or worse. If you’re even reading this, you probably have read a few books on the list. I will eventually cull those votes or voters who didn’t follow the written guidance.
