The Ruins of Intelligent Machines

How Does Tomato Have No Science Fiction Novels?

Pure Sci-Fi With Lots of Cutting-Edge Tech, A Complete and Rich Tech Tree, and War

Pure sci-fi with lots of advanced tech, a complete and well-developed tech tree, and warfare.

Sci-Fi Masterpiece, Buried and Overlooked. I’ve Run Out of Things to Read!

Technology Meets Another World, with Believable Characters and Logic

I don't want stories that blindly worship technology. I want a balanced approach. No illogical plots, and nothing so stupid it hurts to read. Also, no casually throwing in interstellar battleships and the like.

Sci-Fi With Weapons Like Mechs, Power Armor, and Exoskeletons

Looking for stories with armor like Armor Hero, as well as powered suits, exoskeletons, fighter jets, and especially battleships in combat.

Hard Sci-Fi! Hard Sci-Fi! I Want Hard Sci-Fi!!!

No Masterpieces Left in Science Fiction, Fight Me

Sci-Fi: It Has to Be Hard Science Fiction!!!

Something like "The Three-Body Problem", or making a two-dimensional foil by hand.

Hard Science Fiction

Mecha and battleships, with a vast cosmic setting grounded in real data and scientific principles.

Top-Tier Sci-Fi Novels with Huge Ideas!

Not the usual bland stuff. Science fiction should actually feel like science fiction, but every tech tree is the same old thing: nuclear power and dark matter. I'm sick of it. Give me something with a fully realized world, consistent logic, and a completely original field of science!

Looking for Smart Science and Academic Prodigy Stories. No Dumbed-Down Plots, Please 😋

No CP. (No) cultivation or starting a company. No suggestive scenes from the start, no period settings, and no courtyard-house stories 😅

Hard Science Fiction Similar to The Three-Body Problem

The Best Tech Novel I’ve Ever Read!!!

Just one book, please!

A Worthwhile Sci-Fi Novel with Standout Highlights

If you're recommending a book, you have to give it a boost! Sci-fi needs to feel like sci-fi, have a big imagination, and keep the plot flowing smoothly.

Pure Science Fiction: No Fantasy, Games, Movies, or Awakening

Sci-Fi Novels With Prose Like Liu Cixin's

I especially love Liu Cixin’s science fiction. His stories feel completely fresh to me. I’m not so keen on sci-fi about love between humans and AI, or stories focused on human emotions and introspection against a sci-fi backdrop. I’m hoping to find some hard sci-fi.

Are There Any Hard Science Fiction Novels Like The Three-Body Problem?

Preferably not the starship civilization trope I've seen a million times.

Hard Science, Mainly Sci-Fi. Nothing Else, and the Details Matter!

I'd love to read hard sci-fi with an author who has deep knowledge of the subject and excellent attention to detail!
