Ken Liu recommends
The Water Outlaws (2023)
(Water Outlaws, book 1)
S L Huang
"The smartest and thrillingest book you'll read all year."
The Book of Gems (2023)
(Jewel , book 3)
Fran Wilde
"A splendid tale of courage and transformation in a world as exquisite as Wilde's prose. You will be utterly entranced."
Perhaps the Stars (2021)
(Terra Ignota, book 4)
Ada Palmer
"Provocative, erudite, inventive, resplendent."
The Past Is Red (2021)
Catherynne M Valente
"A gorgeous, funny, melancholy, splendid romp through a post-apocalyptic wonderland in which hope and despair are indistinguishable, and the human spirit burns with the joy and rage of a thousand suns. The Candide of our #@$*%?! age."
Machinehood (2021)
S B Divya
"With clever invention and astute observation popping from every paragraph, Machinehood takes you on a thrilling ride through a gritty, panoramic future that showcases intelligence in all its manifestations, humanity in all its potentialities, the infinite grace of ourselves as well as of our creations."
Black Sun (2020)
(Between Earth and Sky, book 1)
Rebecca Roanhorse
"I emerged from Black Sun bleary-eyed, tongue-tied, heart-swollen. This is a brilliant world that shows the full panoply of human grace and depravity. Rebecca Roanhorse is the epic voice of our continent and time."
Burn-In (2020)
August Cole and P W Singer
"Timely, prescient, and meticulously researched, Burn-In tells a deeply humane and nuanced story about our changing relationship with AI and warns of dangers to our free society all too few have started to grapple with. This is the near-future thriller you've been looking for: a captivating story filled with moving characters as well as profound insights."
Eridani's Crown (2019)
Alex Shvartsman
"This epic fantasy will have you turning the pages deep into the night and move you in the manner only the grandest of tragedies can."
A Song for a New Day (2019)
Sarah Pinsker
"Woven through Pinsker’s meticulously crafted future of technology-enabled isolation and corporate-consumerist powerlessness is a stirring anthem against the politics of fear. A dazzling tale told in multiple voices, with not a single note out of place. This is the lyrical protest song that we have always needed, perhaps more so now than ever."
The Future of Another Timeline (2019)
Annalee Newitz
"A glorious tale of hope in the face of outrage, an anthem of timeless resistance against the powers that would lead us to our worst futures."
Jade City (2017)
(Green Bone Saga, book 1)
Fonda Lee
"Stylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves, Jade City is an epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book."
The Uploaded (2017)
Ferrett Steinmetz
"Featuring one of the most original magic systems ever devised and a pair of likable, layered protagonists, Flex is a fast-paced, imaginative, and emotionally engaging adventure. The developing friendships and rapport among the characters are portrayed with sensitivity and avoids cliches, and the magical battle sequences are rigorous and filled with ingenious touches that will make gamers and tax lawyers alike grin with joy."
The Stars Are Legion (2017)
Kameron Hurley
"The Stars are Legion is a profoundly moving tale of self-discovery and self-construction in a world as wondrously layered as its unforgettable protagonist."
United States of Japan (2016)
(United States of Japan, book 1)
Peter Tieryas
"A searing vision of the persistence of hope in the face of brutality, United States of Japan is utterly brilliant."
Black Wolves (2015)
(Black Wolves Trilogy, book 1)
Kate Elliott
"On a vast, colourful canvas, Kate Elliott has drawn dozens of characters who act and react with poetry and grit. Lush and textured, by turns moving, exciting, playful, and contemplative, Black Wolves is a masterpiece that soars with an epic soul."
The Rebirths of Tao (2014)
(Tao, book 3)
Wesley Chu
"Filled with non-stop action and brilliant asides on the history of our spies."
