Such a great year of books, the top 3 nominees are frickin' wonderful.

The Metro video game series was a huge success. Is it worth reading Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel that inspired it all?

The Martian by Andy Weir is one of the most fun, un-put-downable sci-fi adventure stories out there. Plus, it's really in a league of it's own, poop-taters wise.

Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's sci-fi masterpiece is driven by one man - Red Schuhart, one of the greatest characters ever written into science fiction. He's a stalker, one of the few people with enough grit and wits to survive trips into the Zone, the eerie region left behind after aliens visited Earth.

Watched the show and wondering if you should read the books? REVIEW SPOILER HELL YES YOU SHOULD this is the greatest space opera series ever written. James S.A. Corey all four of your cheeks deserve a nice squeeze from nona.

We by Yevgenzy Zamyatin is the grand-daddy of all dystopias that couldn't be published in the USSR until 1988! Extremely well-written and full of interesting ideas - petroleum food, anyone?

This week we're bringing you a complete short story - Philip K. Dick's first published work. This is a fun one, hope y'all enjoy!

One of the best sci-fi books of the last couple years! A must-read if you're into octopuses, different forms of consciousness, or how to communicate with and understand people (or aliens!) who see the world through different eyes.

We tried to do top 10, but the world is just too full of good stuff to read. Bonus books!

Permutation City by Greg Egan is a triumph of hard scifi! One of the best-ever explorations of mind-uploading, it also brings a mind-bending idea about randomness, the nature of the universe, and consciousness that will stay with you forever.

Peter Watts is the award winning author of Blindsight; Echopraxia; Starfish, and many more - but we focused the conversation on our favorite of his books - Blindsight!

Spin by Robert Charles Wilson has a wonderfully big, bad sci-fi problem to overcome, powerful, inscrutable aliens, and a wonderful human story to tie it all together!

George Orwell's terrifying look at life inside a totalitarian surveillance state stands up just as well today as when it was written - we had a great time revisiting this one!

The Hugo nominees are out, and we’re going to help you dodge the bad and find the good by ranking them all - plus 3 amazing sci-fi books that should have made the list!

Ursula K. Le Guin's cerebral fusion of science fiction and a thought-provoking exploration of two very different ways of organizing society is absolutely one of her best books!

Cormac McCarthy's unforgettable story about a man and his son trying to survive the nuclear winter is gripping, disturbing, deeply emotional, and hopeful all at once. If you love to read, you've got to add at least one Cormac McCarthy book to your bucket list, and this is one of his best.

Stanislaw Lem's masterwork will absolutely blow your mind about the possibilities of alien life. And it establishes an incredible mood of dislocation and creepiness to boot - if you like cosmic horror or first contact you need to read this book!

Incredible action, colonies across the solar system, compelling characters, and a high-stakes fight to save the human race - so much here to love! This episode cover's the first three books in the series - Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War, and Abaddon's Gate.

Burning books, sweet flamethrowers, and complaining about people watching too much TV make Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury one of the all-time dystopian classics.

An all-time sci-fi classic set in a dark future. It follows Bob Arctor and his life of drugs and paranoia - and what happens when he doesn't have any voices left that he can trust.

Ranking and reviewing the 2022 Nebula nominees so you know what's worth reading!

Aldous Huxley's classic is one of the greatest dystopian books of all time. How much would you trade for happiness? What makes life worth living? And is an orgy still sexy if you call it an orgy porgy?

This is a book that probably tries to do too much - but its still a short, often fun read. Besides, it's hard to hate a book that gets back to some good old humans vs aliens space war action and tries its best to bring some important themes along for the ride.

Becky Chambers is the multiple-Hugo award winning author of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet; A Closed and Common Orbit; A Psalm for the Wild-Built, and many more!
