Ok-Cheetah-9125 on February 13, 2026 9:00 pm For scifi, I love *The Murderbot Diaries*. I’m just finishing up *Project Hail Mary* and would recommend. I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about the *Bobiverse* books lately but haven’t read it yet. *The Expanse* series is good accurate scifi.
JulioNicoletti on February 13, 2026 9:00 pm Could you tell us a bit about the person you are gifting to? What sort of sci fi stuff they generally gravitate towards? Without anything to go on, you will just get a list of the most popular sci fi books (which is maybe fine).
