My TOP 25 SCIENCE FICTION BOOKS of the 21st Century (Updated Recap Video)#sciencefictionbooks #sf

PLEASE NOTE Anyone who lists the books included in this video in the comments will have themselves removed from the channel as a commentator and their post deleted. 'Lists' mean nothing without their contexts and comments. Thank you.

What I like about this channel is that it doesn’t panda to the masses by jumping on every bandwagon going, rather says it like it is and treats viewers as “grown ups” we can agree or disagree but Stephen is always true to himself. Keep the content coming

hello I'm from Brazil. Your channel was one of my most stimulating discoveries in recent months.

I got some really great recommendations from this video, so thank you for that! I had to comment as soon as you brought out Never Let Me Go. I read it for the first time last month not knowing a single thing about it (I had heard the author's name and found a copy at my local thrift store) and I have thought about it almost every day since finishing it. Immediately shot to the upper part of my favorites of all time list, not just SF. If you haven't read it, please go in blind, it truly makes the experience unforgettable imo

Your reviews are fascinating. Always an engrossing listen. Thank you.

Loving your Channel and love the Space Ritual attire...

Thanks for yet another great video. This provided me with both some authors I've never heard of and some new titles by old favorites. Great taste of the contents and context provided for the works. Please keep up the great work. You're doing a great service, especially to younger sci-fi fans like myself who are looking to dive deeper into sci-fi.

Good Day from Arizona USA, 46 years young. I have been going through your back catalogue and love all of the videos. Comments when I am inspired. I told myself I was done with shopping until the new year two weeks ago. Ordered Beyond Apollo by Malzberg yesterday because of one of your vids. Love this video and eventually will get to Ballard and Europe in Autumn has caught my eye now

A solid list, with a few I've had on my TBR list, which will now move up in priority. For Adam Roberts 'Land of the Headless,' in particular, made a lasting impression on me, and I find myself thinking about it frequently. 'The This' is also among my 21st Century favorites.

Good to see Ken MacLeod getting some love.

PKD? Oh, sold. The man who destroyed the world, God knows how many times, that C. P, mole. The death of grass was a very cool book, no doubt.

I really appreciate your knowledge of the genre. Your recommendations always work for me.

Thanks for bolstering my 2024 TBR with some interesting sounding books!

Hi Stephen, really enjoyed the video. What strikes me most is your integrity and probably uniqueness in recommending and promoting SF works that quite frankly are largely ignored by many other book tube content creators. ok I guess this list is quite reflective that you are a UK based creator but thats not the whole story. You would be hard pushed to find many (any) of these on a top 20 SF books of the 21st C if you compiled it from numerous sources. I find this very refreshing and will add many of these to my TBR. I have only read a few of these so far, notably Dogs of War and Before Mars, both excellent.

Love your deep knowledge, particularly of the earlier ground-breaking stuff. I always learn so much from your shows.

Thanks for the great content and introducing some more authors to catch up with.

Thanks for this revision...or, additions to your books.

Some of these sound interesting. Might check out some of these books

another great selection, i must admit i loved 'house of rumour' and 'the devils paintbrush' which is similar. jake is a great writer and i must check out his dr. who book.

Great list! Your comments about not wanting to like Never Let Me Go made me chuckle. I felt the exact same way. I ended up really liking it as well.
