The top ten science fiction book series ever

Science fiction is the most adaptable genre since it can be used to describe a political thriller, love tale, or even the autobiography of a monster that devours faces. All you have to do is inform readers that the narrative takes place in a world where everyone carries laser weapons and add the sci-fi label.

The enormous diversity of subjects found in the Sci-Fi genre ensures that you will never get bored, and there are so many fantastic Sci-Fi series available that you will never run out of incredible things to read. The greatest to get you going is this one.

Frank Herbert's Dune trilogy

Look no further than the Dune trilogy (Frank Herbert) if you're looking for anything that resembles the science fiction adaptation of Lord of the Rings. The vast cosmos built specifically to support the weight of the stories and the remarkable effect each of these works have had on their respective genres make the analogy work.

If the contemporary fantasy genre can be attributed to Lord of the Rings, then every space opera may be attributed to Dune. As a result, we probably only have Star Wars, Star Trek, and Mass Effect as examples. Even if you have seen the two new films, you should still read Dune since it adds to the story and includes elements that are conspicuously absent from Denis Villeneuve's and David Lynch's adaptations.

After Dune Messiah, the third volume in the series, which will subsequently be turned into Dune Part 3, you may continue reading, but do so at your own risk, since that's when everything start to go haywire.

Sprawl trilogy (William Gibson, the Neuromancer novel)

You may credit William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy (the one containing Neuromancer) for your enjoyment of Cyberpunk 2077. The first book in the series, "Neuromancer," is essentially the origin of the genre, which promotes the lovely idea that utilizing technology to overthrow corrupt governments or "evil" businesses is awesome.

When I first tried to get into this trilogy, I just had one issue, which was figuring out all the in-universe jargon, which was obviously brand-new to me at the time. The Sprawl is still perhaps the greatest work of Cyberpunk media ever produced, if you already possess a strong enough understanding of Cyberpunk language and have never been to the origin of it all.

Final series

Orson Though Scott Card is more renowned today for his controversial viewpoints, the Ender trilogy is his best work. The plot of Ender's Game centers on Ender, a smart youngster whose abilities are harnessed by a future human military complex to stave against an alleged extraterrestrial attack. Aside from some needlessly offensive language, this excellent book provides a solid indictment of the US military complex, which I'll go into more detail about below in the spoiler section.We do find out that, in spite of his superior tactical abilities, Ender is really being used to wipe out a whole unfriendly alien culture rather than defend mankind from a horrible foe. This is a masterful turn of events that holds up even in modern times compared to the books' original publication, and one from which the author may draw some inspiration.

Iain M. Banks's Culture

Are you sick of science fiction's dystopian or post-apocalyptic settings? Then think about checking out The Culture (Iain M Banks). As an excellent diversion from the grim world typical of the genre, it introduces readers to a post-apocalyptic civilization in which even the most dire issues are solved with a sense of humor.Sadly, Banks passed away before the series came to an end or was made public, but it won't detract from the reading experience since each book stands alone as a standalone narrative rather than being a part of a multiplot monster a la MCU. If Banks had lived longer, his series would have blossomed much more, but what he accomplished in life is more than plenty to provide A place on the list of the greatest Sci-Fi shows ever produced goes to The Culture.

Asimov Foundation

Foundation by Isaac Asimov is the hard science fiction book that, well, defined the genre until, well, right now. This is the book for you if you like science fiction in which the social examination of humanity's potential to colonize other cosmos takes precedence over the nifty spacecraft.This is still the greatest way to enjoy the series, in which Asimov delved into the development and collapse of human-made galactic civilizations long before we'd even reached the moon, even if the Apple-produced TV series adaption deserves more credit than it gets.

Jason Pargin's Zoey Ashe series

I usually don't think dystopian stories have enough humor. It makes sense, I suppose, that you would find it difficult to laugh out loud while quoting .Neuromancer, The sky seems to be a dead channel on a CRT TV, but it only adds credence to sci-fi dystopian stories that manage to pull it off, right?Jason Pargin’s Zoey Ashe series is what you should read if you’re searching for Sci-Fi that can make you imagine visions that are both amusing and terrifying at the same time.

The Expanse (Tyler Corey Franck, James S. A. Corey)

It's likely that someone will compare the TV show The Expanse to Game of Thrones set in space. Even though I'm not much on adaptations, I have to say that the TV version of The Expanse has a ton of political intrigue, which will make you notice the amazing similarities right away.The bad news is that the final three volumes in the series were not covered by The Expanse since it finished before it could. That's unfortunate since this is one of the few shows that viewers enjoyed from beginning to (unexpected) end. The Expanse (James S. A. Corey, Tyler Corey Franck) is available for you to pick up, explains the whole tale, and—spoiler alert—it doesn't let you down at the end. If you're looking for a Sci-Fi story that doesn't seem like it's biting off more than it can chew and mixes class conflict, sentient viruses, ghosts, and aliens with cunning political antics, pick this one up.

Dan Simmons's Hyperion Cantos

The Hyperion Cantos (Dan Simmons) is very new to me; I just found out about it from the awesome video up above, which introduces you to The Shrike, who is perhaps the deadliest monster in that universe (if not all fictional worlds).So let's strive to make sure that potential fans are aware of this series by bringing their attention to this fascinating truth.Having seen any space-faring science fiction series recently, chances are you've experienced Mass Effect's impact on individuals, particularly in the case of the most current Star Trek incarnations. Although it's not often discussed, I can't help but believe that Hyperion Cantos was a major source of inspiration for Mass Effect, particularly the first game. The unique mode of conveyance (and its impediment), the interspecies politics, the unknown, inexorable extraterrestrial danger, and even all the steamy hijinks are there. Give The Hyperion Cantos a try if you're looking for more of the sadly discontinued (or dead) Mass Effect series or simply fantastic sci-fi in general.

Nnedi Okorafor's Binti Trilogy

Binti Trilogy (Nnedi Okorafor) is a narrative that has a Sci-Fi twist and is akin to the tale of the child who is welcomed into the wizarding school. The narrative narrates the tale of a girl who is admitted into the top university in the galaxy and must cope with all the issues that arise from interacting with extremely unusual living forms. Though it's not the deepest science fiction in the galaxy, Binti is a fantastic place for people of all ages to start if they're interested in trying their hand at it. Hugh Howey's Silo Trilogy

Most people are probably familiar with Silo as the popular new Sci-Fi/Mystery TV show that managed to stay popular even after its first season ended. The good news is that the series will be an exciting ride to the very end if it is anything like the Hugh Howey Silo Trilogy on which it is based.Silo is a fantastic read for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction, particularly in this day and age. Its setting was probably influenced by the video game series Fallout, and it's a perfect way to kill time till Fallout season 2.
