Stacker's 100 of the Best Science Fiction Novels of All Time

"Fiction can be a powerful tool for helping individuals navigate the real world. Sci-fi is no different. In light of that, Stacker has rounded up 100 of the best science fiction novels of all time. Using sources like Goodreads, Amazon, and The New York Times Best Seller list, we've identified 100 books that had a powerful impact on readers. We've included books that fall under the hard sci-fi, cyberpunk, space opera, aliens, and utopia/dystopia categories while steering clear of books that are strictly fantasy. We've also made sure to highlight books from authors of color, female authors, LGBTQIA+ authors, and authors from various countries and backgrounds, dispelling the myth that science fiction is only written for and by cis white males. From comical takes on the genre to controversial titles to classics, dark tales, and new titles, there's sure to be something on this list for every taste. Read on for 100 of the best science fiction novels of all time." - stacker.com
