The Top New Sci-Fi Books of the Past Three Years - Page 2

"Science fiction, as a genre, has been on a roll since 1818, when Mary Shelley published her famous book Frankenstein, generally considered the first sci-fi novel. (Some scholars dispute this; feel free to hash it out in the comments section.) The genre has been consistently popular ever since, as entire generations of readers fall in love with sci-fi.

We thought it might be interesting to peek in on the current state of the genre and see which books have been attracting the most readers in recent years. We've collected below the most popular sci-fi novels of the past three calendar years on Goodreads, as determined by average star ratings and readers' Read and Want to Read shelves. We've pulled out 72 novels in total, ranked in order of overall popularity."
