The Evolution of Science Fiction discussion

We are back to modern day and so are looking for nominations from 2010-today for any book we have not previously read (bookshelf is here). We have already read a number of books from the 2010's so I highly recommend checking before nominating. One nomination per person please.

Stranded by Bracken MacLeod. Just a chilling tale, on multiple levels, set against a SciFi/Fantasy premise.

Ancillary Justice. It won the Hugo, the Nebula and the Locus, Arthur C. Clarke and the BSFA award and was nominated for the Philip K. Dick award.

It seems to be an important book in the evolution of sci-fi lit.

I enjoyed Cixin Liu's The Three Body Problem so much, I would like to nominate the next in the trilogy, The Dark Forest. For anyone else interested, the final novel, Death's End, is already available so would be possible to read the full trilogy with this one.

I read Claire North's The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August (2014) a while back. I just finished Touch (2015). They have interesting original premises, and I enjoyed them both. I'd like to nominate The Sudden Appearance of Hope (2016) by Claire North.

How about Never Let Me Go. It is a great read and important book.

I nominate 11/22/63 by Stephen King

Alternate history but also bona fide science fiction: the protagonist discovers a time portal to the late 1950s, so goes back in time in order to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

As if we don't allready have a list of briljant books within one day, I want to add another one for you. Children of Time. Adrian Tchaikovsky writes fantasy and this is his first SF-book. A 600p. long adventure about the last days of mankind like I never read. It won the Arthur C. Clarke Award and has a GR rating of 4.3.

I enjoyed that one immensely, Leo. Fully recommend it.

Children of Time is currently being read as book of the month (August 2017) by "Dragons & Jetpacks" group. I'm turned off by the length, but maybe I'll give it a go.

I suggest a book by Stephen King, "11/22/63".

Sorry didn't see your comment :)
Well at least 2 people want to read it.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

What about Surface Detail by Iain M. Banks?
