"Are you ready to read some stellar science fiction? Well, then, you’re in
luck. I’ve pulled together a list of the most influential sci-fi books of the
past 10 years, and you’re going to want to add them all to your TBR.
I’ll be honest with you. Putting this list together was hard. Unless you’re
talking about
Twilight,
The Hunger Games, or
Fifty Shades of Grey, it’s
incredibly difficult to judge a book’s influence when you’re less than ten
years out from its publication. It hasn’t had time to become influential yet!
Although that may be true, we can spot burgeoning trends if we know where to
look for them. The last decade has seen a marked rise in cli-fi novels, anime-
and video game–inspired stories, and genre-bending science fiction. You’ll find
examples of all of these and more on the list below.
The biggest and most important trend in the science fiction of the 2010s was
none of the above, however. Rather, it was the steady increase in traditionally
published, critically acclaimed, and awards-recognized speculative fiction from
marginalized authors. So much so, that between 2013 and 2017, right-wing SFF
writers and readers made a concerted effort to vote against women, authors of
color, and LGBTQ+ writers on awards ballots. Thankfully, they were ultimately
as unsuccessful as they were loud."
Definitely some good recommendations here.
