NPR’s 50 Favorite SF/F Books of the Decade

NPR announced “Your 50 Favorite Sci-Fi And Fantasy Books of the Past Decade”, a list that began with their 2021 summer reader poll, with a top 50 selected by Amal El-Mohtar, Ann Leckie, Fonda Lee, and Tochi Onyebuchi. Titles are separated into categories, such as “Worlds To Get Lost In” and “Will Mess With Your Head”, and include a range of subgenres and interests, such as Joe Abercrombie’s Age of Madness series (Orbit/Gollancz), Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant (Knopf), N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy (Orbit), Victor LaValle’s The Changeling (Spiegel & Grau), and Andy Weir’s The Martian (Ballantine).

For more information, including the complete list, see the NPR website.
