The 72 Most Popular Recent Sci-Fi Novels

"Science fiction fans tend to be a ravenous lot, and, as such, the publishing industry has traditionally obliged by keeping the shelves fully stocked with new sci-fi. Everybody wins! The trouble is, there's a lot to sort through…

It always helps to have a sense of what other sci-fi fans are reading. We've collected below 72 of the most popular science fiction novels of the past three years, as determined by reader shelvings and Want to Read choices. Each of the titles was published in the U.S. in 2019 or later. For series in which multiple books qualify, we've selected the first title of that series.

There really is something here for every taste."
