What are some of your favorite science fiction books and why? If you had to pick only a few. As of writing this post my favorites are the following.

  • The Quantum Magician
  • Three Body Problem
  • Children of Time

I tend to like in-depth explanations of the fictional science that exists in-universe as well as a good mystery.

I really enjoyed the 'Foundation' series by Isaac Asimov. 'Rendezvous with Rama' by Arthur C. Clarke is a great one as well.

Asimov is my favorite author

really love all his short story collections, he even did some (light) mystery ones

I am currently reading a collection of all of Asimov's short stories. That will take a while, it's a 2339 page epub. In the beginning there are some lesser stories but they keep getting better and better.
