    1. Brave New World. Also Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. And I liked Feed and Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant.

    2. Evening-Grocery-9150 on

      Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton (I am yet to read a better and more enthralling hard science fiction book than this)

      11/22/63 by Stephen King

      Sphere by Michael Crichton (broadly a story about first contact with extraterrestrial life, but essentially a psychological horror/thriller)

      Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

    3. Next by Michael Crichton

      This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

    4. PoeticMadnesss on

      Noor by Nnedi Okorafor, set in a futuristic Nigeria and the main character is a cyborg.

    5. perpetualmotionmachi on

      Sea of Rust by C Robert Cargill

      The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

      Road to Roswell by Connie Willis

      +1 on Roads must Roll (I *love* something wicked but it’s not sci fi, but Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is, and that should get a shout out)
      +1 on Brave New World and Doomsday Book
      +1 on Jurassic Park
      Adding Parable of the Sower & Kindred from Octavia Butler (one of these might be cheating a little, but not much), Yiddish Policeman’s Union by Michael Chabon (so fun!), The Garden of Iden by Cage Baker (and all her “the company” stories), Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (or any other Philip K Dick), Woman on the Edge of Time Marge Piercy, My Sister’s Keeper by Picoult, and Never Let Me Go (or Klara and the Sun) by Ishiguro, China Moutain Zhang by McHugh…. I could keep going but let’s end with….
      Psalm for the Wild Built by Chambers
