Sarah Pinsker recommends

Escape Velocity (2024)
Victor Manibo
"Victor Manibo excels at the kind of extrapolation that makes near-future science fiction so interesting. . . . What can money and clout buy, and what can't be bought? With intrigue, murder, and machinations aplenty, Manibo never lets his characters or his readers off the hook."

Emergent Properties (2023)
Aimee Ogden
"If you're missing your Murderbot fix, Emergent Properties is a worthy successor."

The First Bright Thing (2023)
J R Dawson
"If this circus were real, I'd be in the front row; it's the found family so many of us crave. Richly imagined and vividly depicted, The First Bright Thing shows both the joys and costs of power."

Station Eternity (2022)
(Midsolar Murders, book 1)
Mur Lafferty
"A science fiction mystery has to nail both the science fiction and the mystery, and this book passes both tests with flying colors. As bingeable and satisfying as your favorite murder show. I couldn't put it down."

Boys, Beasts, & Men (2022)
Sam J Miller
"Sam Miller is my hero: a fearless visionary whose stories are at once vivid, electrifying, brutal, and full of heart. Oh, the heat of them."

The Adventurists: and Other Stories (2022)
Richard Butner
"A Richard Butner story is an invitation to discovery alongside his characters. It's a left turn off of reality's highway and into its old business district: defiantly shabby, casually weird, and occasionally surreal, perfect in every grounding detail. Every story zigs when you expect it to zag. You only think you know where they are going, but it turns out you are on the same adventure as the protagonist, discovering as you go that the world is stranger than it was the minute before, and the minute before that. Well worth the journey."

Dead Silence (2022)
S A Barnes
"Creepy and satisfying; I'll be checking under my bed tonight."

Light Years from Home (2022)
Mike Chen
"A beautifully realized deep dive on the meaning of family told within an alien abduction framework... The Shao family feels real and lived in, so I can only assume Mike Chen has insider knowledge on intergalactic warfare as well."

A Spindle Splintered (2021)
(Fractured Fables, book 1)
Alix E Harrow
"What I love about Alix Harrow's work is that her stories are clearly written by someone who loves and knows stories, featuring characters who also love and know stories. This is a self-aware, empowered riff on Sleeping Beauty that manages to be thrilling, funny, smart, and sweet."

Summer Sons (2021)
Lee Mandelo
"A gripping, gasoline-drenched story of ghosts, friendships, and things left unspoken."

The Album of Dr. Moreau (2021)
Daryl Gregory
"This book has everything: a genetically engineered boy band, a great detective, a Zima-soaked tour party full of suspects, and a clever locked-room mystery. Funny, smart, and completely satisfying. I devoured it like a delicious grub snack."

The Haunting of Tram Car 015 (2019)
(Dead Djinn Universe)
P Djèlí Clark
"The Haunting of Tram Car 015 is a witty, political, magical visit to an alternate 1912 Cairo suffused with richly imagined sights, tastes, and a dash of bureaucracy. Forget the Ministry of Magic; you want to be there when the agents of the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities get to work on a case."

Tomorrow Factory (2018)
Rich Larson
"Rich Larson's stories crackle with energy and imagination and I'm only a little jealous- signed, the 3rd most prolific short fiction author of 2016."
