Recommended Reading: Science Fiction
If fringe science, space exploration, and technologically advanced (though often broken) societies are your thing, these books are for you!
Note: When I'm recommending a series, I will only post the first book of the series. Beyond that, I figure you can use your own judgement to decide if you want to keep reading.
