The best science fiction books out in 2023ĬERN-inspired stories, a feminist retelling of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and a new deep future from Annalee Newitz: sci-fi fans have a lot to look forward to in 2023 Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is already a member of the US National Book Foundation’s “5 Under 35”, and this sounds explosively good. We follow the stories of Loretta Thurwar and Hamara “Hurricane Staxxx” Stacker, teammates and lovers, as Thurwar and her lethal hammer near the end of their time on the circuit. Asuka, the only surviving witness, falls under suspicion as she investigates the explosion.Ĭhain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyahĭescribed by one reader as a sapphic Hunger Games and compared elsewhere to Squid Game and The Handmaid’s Tale, this dystopian novel is set in a fictional version of the US’s private prison system, where millions watch the inmates fight as gladiators for their chance to be freed. They are planning to give birth to a new generation in deep space and are halfway to a distant planet when a bomb knocks them off course.
I can’t wait for this sci-fi thriller in which Earth has succumbed to environmental collapse, and 80 graduates of an elite programme are leaving it in a single ship as humanity’s last hope. The characters range from a teenager trapped in the body of a giant snail to a young hero given the fantastic moniker of Hero McHeroface, and all of them are looking for love. Snodgrass, Gwenda Bond and Marko Kloos, and has a romantic leaning. Curated by Martin, this latest anthology features stories from authors including Melinda M.

Of those who survive, 1 per cent have, as the series puts it, drawn an “ace” and received superpowers, with the remainder drawing a “joker” and becoming bizarrely mutated. The stories take place in a universe where an alien virus has been unleashed on Earth, killing most of its people. The Game of Thrones author is better known for his fantasy, but the long-running Wild Cards anthologies, which he edits, came first – and are also tons of fun.
Wild Cards: Pairing up edited by George R.R. Now I just have to find time to read them… Here is my selection of the sci-fi novels I’m most looking forward to this month. And I’m always a sucker for a generation-ship story, so I can’t wait for Yume Kitasei’s thriller The Deep Sky. Perhaps “love” isn’t quite the right word, but I certainly want to read about it. I love the sound of the dystopian US dreamed up by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah in Chain-Gang All-Stars, where prisoners fight as gladiators in front of huge crowds for the chance of freedom. There is so much great science fiction out in July that I’m considering taking extra holiday just to keep up with it.
Travel to other worlds with the science fiction published this month.
