Buying The Best Sci Fi Books

By Colette Foreman


Science fiction novels cover many different topics such as future technologies, life on other planets and travel in space. The best sci fi books challenge our imagination and offer us great entertainment, allowing us to escape into other worlds different from our own. However, they can also show us the infinite possibilities that exist when boundaries are pushed and also help us deal with changes in our own world.

The authors often explore issues raised by cutting edge research in fields such as genetics or technology. They may take an issue like cloning, for example, and use the idea as a basis for a story. This enables us to explore new concepts in a non-threatening way. We are lifted out of our world and allowed to see things more objectively in a different setting.

Speculating about the future is very much part of human nature. The way technology has changed over the past century has had tremendous implications on every area of our lives. These changes are explored in this literature. Some authors play on the fears of people that technology will take over our lives. Isaac Asimov, for example, made us think about artificial intelligence in ways we had never thought of before.

The distinction between science fiction and fantasy is not as well defined today as it used to be. Many novels of today fall between these two genres. Magic and myths co-exist with science and its advancements. For example, humans may have developed psychic capabilities that appear to be magic. While there are websites devoted specifically to science fiction, most booksellers tend to group the two genres together.

The settings created by these authors are often incredibly detailed and the characters are multi-faceted and believable. Topics cover every aspect of the human condition from war to sexuality. Race, gender, religion, politics and law are just some of the issues faced by the characters in settings that seem as realistic as though they were part of real history.

The range of these novels available from online stores today can make selection quite daunting. However, searches can be refined by using various filters such as author, price and so on. There are also many lists of top sellers, special picks and recent releases to choose from. Reviews are written by both in-house editors and customers which can prove helpful in making a selection.

Buying books online also offers the opportunity to search for special deals and discounts. You can even give your email address on some sites to be kept up to date with recent releases, savings and special offers. It is possible to buy novels in different formats such as paperback, Kindle version or hardcover, some of which are kinder to the budget than others. It is important to find out policies with regard to shipping, returns and other factors before buying from a particular store.

These novels offer us excellent entertainment and a chance of becoming as familiar with different worlds as we are with our own. The good novels, just like other fiction, examine the human condition in different settings and other worlds. If you want to read novels like this, it is possible to find a great selection at online stores.
