This is it — the grand finale of my Top 100 Sci-Fi Reads of All Time (2025 Edition). Today we reveal my Top 20 — the books that define science fiction for me.These stories shaped my imagination, challenged my thinking, broke my heart, and reminded me why sci-fi is one of the most powerful storytelling genres we have. This tier is mythic. Philosophical. World-shaping. And yes… the number one spot may not surprise you — but it's absolutely earned.If you've enjoyed this series, thank you for coming along for the ride.

Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and Lizbeth Myles (Big Finish, Verity!), discuss the Science Fiction and Fantasy television made in the UK every year from 1953 to the present day.   In this special Christmas episode, we talk about The Avengers episode "Too Many Christmas Trees" (1965).

Welcome to elite territory. In Part 4 of my Top 100 Sci-Fi Reads of All Time, we're counting down ranks 40 through 21 — books that represent the core of what science fiction can do.These are stories about power, intelligence, control, revolution, and the long-term consequences of human ambition. Civilizations rise and fall here. Artificial intelligences gain personalities. Revolutions begin. Futures pivot.At this point, rankings get especially painful — moving any of these feels wrong… and yet, choices must be made.If you've been following the series, you're not going to want to miss the finale.

Now we're getting serious. In Part 3 of my Top 100 Sci-Fi Reads, we tackle ranks 60 through 41 — the stretch where the books stop being “just good” and start being deeply influential.This tier is full of apocalypses, time travel, AI ethics, societal collapse, and massive “what if” questions. These are stories that linger long after you turn the last page — and several that reshaped how I think about science fiction as a genre.Some longtime favorites slip a bit this year. A few newer reads surge upward. That's the beauty (and frustration) of doing this annually.If you're enjoying the series so far, please Like, Subscribe, and Ring the Bell — the upper tiers only get heavier.

In the light of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America organization's statement on AI and eligibility for the Nebula Awards, I recorded this bonus episode of the podcast to give you my perspective on where we are and where we're headed, regarding AI and the creative arts and, well, civilization as a whole.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1295 Manufactured Nightmares: When Science Fiction's Monsters Crawl Out of the Lab Monsters were never meant to be real. They were warnings. In the final chapter of our four-part series on Science Fiction & Reality, we confront the most unsettling idea of all: the creatures that once haunted novels and movie screens were never fantasies — they were prototypes. From mutants and cyborgs to engineered viruses, mind control, cloning, and immortal elites, science fiction didn't invent our fears. It documented them in advance. Tonight, with Professor Mark Brake, we ask the forbidden question no one in power wants answered: What if the real monster was never the creature… but the human who created it? GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse. Known for translating complex ideas into gripping narratives, Brake argues that science fiction doesn't merely entertain — it quietly shapes the laboratories, technologies, and futures we eventually inhabit.

Welcome to Part 2 of my Top 100 Sci-Fi Reads of All Time (2025 Edition), where we move into ranks 80 through 61 — the section where the list starts to feel dangerous.This tier is packed with dystopias, survival stories, space opera, monsters, conspiracies, and big ideas colliding with bad human decisions. Many of these books ranked higher last year but were pushed down as my sci-fi reading expanded. Others are brand-new arrivals making strong first impressions.These may not be my absolute favorites — but they're all books I'm glad I read.If you enjoy sci-fi rankings, genre history, and honest takes from a lifelong speculative fiction reader, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Ring the Bell so you're ready for what's next.

Send us a textJeff and Bryan discuss the second half of the novel Starship Titanic. The novel was written by Terry Jones while Douglas Adams was working on the CD ROM game.

EP. #1294 Programming the Cosmos: How Science Fiction Conditioned Humanity for Space What if humanity didn't invent the space age—but inherited it? In Part Three of our four-part series on how science fiction shapes reality, Professor Mark Brake traces an unsettling pattern: rockets, satellites, lunar landings, arcologies, even cosmic megastructures all appeared in fiction long before engineers built them. From Kepler to Clarke, storytellers sketched the architecture of the modern world centuries in advance. Were these writers merely imaginative—or were they quietly programming our collective future? Tonight, we follow the thread into orbit, where fiction stops entertaining us and starts directing us. GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse.

I've already updated my Top 100 Fantasy Reads for 2025 — horror included — but today it's time to give science fiction its moment in the spotlight. In Part 1 of my Top 100 Sci-Fi Reads of All Time, we're starting at the bottom of the list with ranks 100 through 81.These are foundational reads, cult favorites, classics, guilty pleasures, and a few books that may surprise you by even being on the list at all. Some are longtime staples that have slipped. Others are newer arrivals just finding their place. All of them helped shape my sci-fi reading journey.As always, this list is completely subjective, influenced by taste, timing, and yes — recency bias. But the truly great books tend to stick around year after year… even if they move.If you enjoy sci-fi book lists, thoughtful rankings, lighthearted commentary, and spirited debate, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Ring the Notification Bell so you don't miss the rest of the series.

Robots, magicians, demons: Children's and young adult book author Hubert Wiest likes to use surreal characters for his works, like in his science fiction youth novel “The Shadow Surfers.” The former advertising salesman told us why his stories still take place in possible scenarios and how his family life influences the development process of his books. - Ob Roboter, Zauberer oder Dämonen, der Kinder- und Jugendbuchautor Hubert Wiest verwendet für seine Werke gern übernatürliche Charaktere und Motive, wie auch in seinem Science-Fiction-Jugendroman „Die Schattensurfer“. Uns hat der gelernte Werbekaufmann verraten, warum sich seine surrealen Geschichten in denkbaren Szenarien abspielen und wie auch sein Familienleben einen Einfluss auf den Entwicklungsprozess seiner Bücher hat.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1293 Machines That Dreamed Us First: How Science Fiction Built the Future We Now Live Tonight, in Part Two of our four-part series, we plunge into the mechanical heart of science fiction—and the chilling realization that our world of drones, algorithms, and AI was imagined long before it was built. From Čapek's enslaved robots to Asimov's hopeful laws, from Wells's remote-controlled war machines to Orwell's watchful screens, the blueprints were drawn in stories. Professor Mark Brake reveals how these fictions didn't just predict the future—they scripted it. Are we masters of our creations, or have the machines we dreamed up already begun reshaping humanity itself? The déjà vu is real. The reckoning is now. GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse. Known for translating complex ideas into gripping narratives, Brake argues that science fiction doesn't merely entertain — it quietly shapes the laboratories, technologies, and futures we eventually inhabit.

Though the last twelve episodes have taken Marina Warner and her interlocutors through many worlds and texts, no series could ever encompass the full scope of fantastic literature. This episode, recorded live at Swedenborg House, is an attempt to fill the gaps, or fail heroically. Marina and Adam Thirlwell are joined by Edwin Frank, editorial director of the New York Review Books and author of ‘Stranger than Fiction: Lives of the Twentieth Century Novel'. Together they assess existing canons and definitions, redefine and rediscover categories and exceptions, and consider the pleasures and uses of the fantastic.

Alle Jahre wieder zittern die Hosts Daniel und Jan vor der weihnachtlichen Bastelzeit. Denn Handarbeit - das ist ihre große Schwäche. Sie versuchen es in dieser Folge mit der Konfrontationstherapie und haben sich dazu die Autorin und Strickqueen Susanne Oswald eingeladen, um stricken zu lernen. Aber nicht nur die Nadeln glühen im Studio – auch der Bestseller sorgt für richtig viel Thermik. Daniel kürt das neue Buch von John Irving zum langweiligsten Buch des Jahres.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1292 The Time Plot: When Science Fiction Stops Predicting and Starts Instructing Time travel has always been dismissed as fantasy — until you look closer. In this episode of Strange Planet, we venture into the strange frontier where science fiction stops predicting the future and starts engineering it. Joining me is Professor Mark Brake, who reveals how visionary writers like H.G. Wells mapped the architecture of time long before physicists dared to explore it. From quantum theories and alternate timelines to cryonics and suspended animation, we examine whether humanity has already begun slipping through time without admitting it. Is time a rigid law… or the next barrier waiting to break? GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse. Known for translating complex ideas into gripping narratives, Brake argues that science fiction doesn't merely entertain — it quietly shapes the laboratories, technologies, and futures we eventually inhabit.
