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.

Three Body problem is a great choice.

One of my absolute favourites that I haven't seen on this list is Callahan's Crosstime Saloon. A bunch of friends at a bar swap puns, stories and save the world, random strangers and each other using logic, love and the occasional nuclear weapon in a series of short stories.
