Never read itI will point out that Frankenstein was written by a non-dude.
Oh man, you're in for a treat.Never read it
At this point I'm not sure if Parable counts as fiction. It's a terrifyingly prophetic-feeling read. But perhaps that's part of what makes for good science-fiction?
- Octavia Butler Parable of the Sower
Nona, interesting. I would be more inclined to vote for Harrow the Ninth. The way it challenges the reader and explores grief and grieving is just phenomenal.
- Tamsyn Muir Nona the Ninth
good golly, I just read the plot summary to Parable. Yikes. I'll refrain from breaking forum rules, but yikes.At this point I'm not sure if Parable counts as fiction. It's a terrifyingly prophetic-feeling read. But perhaps that's part of what makes for good science-fiction?

Look up "best selling novels of all time".
No, you have to go pretty deep to find the sci-fi, Dune& The Andromeda Nebula are at 20 million copies sold, 1984 is 30 million, and the Hunger Game books are each in between.Nope. Still not seeing it. There’s not a single sf novel
In the top ten. Pair of Harry Potter books and the Hobbit.
