Sci-fi books

Sci-fi imagines advanced and futuristic changes in technology, scientific knowledge, or biological systems, and often explores how people respond to the consequences of those imagined advances. Its common elements have grown over time, from space exploration, extraterrestrial life, time travel, and robotics to parallel universes, dystopian societies, biological manipulations, and, most recently, information technology, transhumanism, posthumanism, and environmental challenges. The genre contains many subgenres, including hard science fiction, soft science fiction, space opera, cyberpunk, and climate fiction. Source
