Or you can transform yourself into a genius by having read 6 of these books by the end of 2022. Any faster may be harmful to your eyesight & mental health. Seriously though, works in the range 46-75 are probably the most approachable, & include sci-fi.
You don't need to read the following description before you start.
These are books that are representative of so-called "Theory-Fiction", of which the source web page says "In this hybrid style, theory is torn down from its pedestal, the real power of fiction is affirmed, and both are released from the high forms of the academy". Ehhhh?!?
The subsets are:
1-15: Poetic Theory (Theory which foregrounds its artifice)
16-28: Narrative Theory (Theory told through narrative form)
29-45: Cybernetic Theory-Fiction (Theory-fiction as cultural hype)
46-62: Sci-Phi (Low fiction, high theory)
63-82: Theoretical Fiction 1 (ThF1) (Fiction as theory)
83-97: ThF2 (Self-writing as theory)
98:101: ThF3 (Poetry & plays as theory)
