A

Here are some of the science fiction books editors and readers have read and loved.

The Calculating Stars (by Mary Robinette Kowal, 2018)

What if space exploration isn't a choice but a necessity, driven by the knowledge that Earth would soon become unfit to live? That's what novelist Mary Robinette Kowal explores in her Lady Astronaut of Mars series. The book follows the mathematician and pilot Elma York, who dreams of becoming an astronaut herself.

Red Moon (by Kim Stanley Robinson, 2018)

Red Moon instantly transports the readers to the moon. The book opens with the journeys of Fred Fredericks, an American physicist, and Ta Shu, a famous Chinese travel reporter to the moon to work. In the world of the book, China has become the first political entity(实体) by virtue of advanced technology to live on the moon in a serious, long－term way.

Before Mars (by Emma Newman, 2018)

Emma Newman's science fiction sees a geologist arrives at a small Mars base after a lengthy journey, only to realize that things aren't as they seem. The base's AI is untrustworthy, and the main character finds a note by herself she has no memory of writing, which warns her not to trust the base psychologist. Can she trust the sights before her? Or has the long trip damaged her mind?

Artemis (by Andy Weir, 2017)

In his second novel Artemis, Andy Weir follows Jasmine “Jazz”Bashara, a porter on the moon who's drawn into danger. Artemis is an entertaining read through an attractive future moon base, with plenty of one－sixth－gravity action and memorable twists. It's well worth reading. Plus, there's a talking book version read by Rosario Dawson.
