"Sci-fi is a versatile genre, with something for every reader. While some sci-fi fans love galaxy-wide rebellions or fast-paced space operas, there's also plenty of sci-fi that takes its time and slows the pace. Rather than rollicking action scenes, thoughtful and slow sci-fi puts more weight on character moments and concepts, giving the reader time to explore a single part of a strange new world.
Slow sci-fi can be a peaceful read between more action-packed books, or can give you the chance to grapple with a futuristic or otherworldly concept on multiple levels. Don't be fooled — slow doesn't mean shallow, and sometimes thoughtful sci-fi can give the horrors of a dystopia more time to develop, really drawing back before landing that gut punch."
