"Science fiction is both an exciting and a vitally important genre of fiction — across literature, film, and video games — for countless reasons.
The best sci-fi books offer writers and readers the opportunity to flex their imaginations, to ask colossal questions about philosophy and existentialism. This is what the best sci-fi books provide us.
Sci-fi is also perhaps the most diverse genre, both in terms of possibilities and inclusion, with writers and readers of every race, gender, and sexual orientation.
For that reason, this list of the best sci-fi books ever showcases the range and breadth of science fiction, featuring writers from all over the world, from different cultural backgrounds.
Diversity is important, as is showcasing the legacy and history of the science fiction genre, from its earliest iterations to where we are right now."
