Best Books About First Contact With Aliens

"A key sub-genre of science fiction can be summed up as "aliens exist." Since we have absolutely no idea what life from another planet would look like, it's complete speculation as to what aliens might even be.

Others are completely alien, with no overlap in the Venn diagram between human understanding and theirs. Despite the fact that aliens would live in space and require a substantial amount of science to either get here, or for us to get to them, this is currently also at least part fantasy. Anne McCaffrey's beloved Pern series is squarely at the intersection between science fiction and fantasy; the non-human life on the planet are telepathic dragons"
