Recs if you like Solaris...

Fantasy, sci-fi, & horror translated into English.

Not all collections hold things you can touch. This one holds worlds that breathe, selves that dissolve, and realities that refuse to hold their shape. These are the fictions that live on the edge of what language can contain - and sometimes just beyond. Admission is free, through entry requires a signed waiver: the curator cannot be held responsible for any transformations that occur upon your exit. We welcome specimen recommendations!

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

a list of sci-fi books containing aliens

Book about or by authors from Slavic countries that aren't Russia!

Apophenia: the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated or random things and events

The list of books which are science fiction but not exactly.

The "science" part is not that important. Technology, space ships or how to pursue the time travel - obsolete. Truly important are the questions about the human condition.

Hopefully, I'll expand it with time.

Open for recommendations😊

This is for the classics, the old and new, the lesser known books, the short stories and the translated speculative fiction. Sci-fi could be argued to be one of the best and most expansive genres out there - it’s just a matter of finding the right book for you.

If there is a series, I will only be putting the first book unless they are unrelated.

First Contact with Aliens Sci-Fi Books

sci-fi which has had an immeasurable impact on the genre or on the world (or the sci-fi i would include in my college course syllabus).

For fans of Criminal Minds! This is a list of books mentioned/read by Dr. Spencer Reid.

Bite-sized books you can read in a single sitting.

These are sci-fi books that have different species. Sometimes from their perspective, sometimes just part of the story, in rare cases as the villain.

Please comment for suggestions and I will add them, but consider that I'm not going for the classic 'Alien' vibe of human destruction, but for something a bit more nuanced in non-human representation 😊 (Alien has its place and I'm a big fan of the franchise)

An across genre selection of books written by Polish authors. For anyone who wants to get more familiar with Poland and our literary gems! List chosen based on critical acclaim and my opinions. Let me know your thoughts! One book per author for now but I recommend checking out their other works!

Science fiction written in the USSR!

Books mentioned and featured in the mobile game Alter Ego, a mobile game that is half personality tests and psychoanalysis, and half an idle clicker. Highly recommended.

Sci-fi books that are thoughtful, exciting, and transformative.

zone: an area or stretch of land having a particular characteristic, purpose, or use, or subject to particular restrictions. A place outside of the 'normal' realm, where the rules are totally different, where it is difficult or impossible to make sense of what the Zone is about. The Zone can be physical or mental. It can exist in reality or in fiction. It cannot really be defined, yet it exists. They are everywhere, and they are different things to different people. What's the Zone to you?
