This is a list of my 15 favorite science fiction books, as of September 2022. My selection criteria were a mishmash of all the variables you might imagine. There is no strict litmus or set of standards I applied. Timestamps are below for those who'd like the quick version.
If you would like to see in-depth reviews of single books, where I am able to share my thoughts in greater detail and care less about YouTube content restrictions, please visit my Patreon. $5 gets you everything.
