Every guide we have published, across books, films, TV and concepts, newest first. Short, spoiler-light and written to help you decide what is worth your time.
The Last Marines by Lawrence N. Oliver: two hundred years too late
A man-out-of-time military story with a genuinely good hook. Read it for the premise and the two leads, and go in forgiving of the prose.
What is a wormhole? The shortcut through spacetime, explained
Hypothetical, unstable and probably impossible to hold open, which is exactly what makes it useful. A wormhole turns an impossible journey into a decision, and that is why science fiction keeps reaching for it.
Eyes of the Void by Adrian Tchaikovsky: the Architects come back
A middle book that widens the board instead of treading water. Strong politics, a genuinely strange unspace and a crew worth following, but it is book two of three and it assumes you did the reading.
The Tomorrow War: a loud alien-war film with one real idea
A loud, sincere alien-war film with one genuinely good emotional idea at its centre. It does not survive close inspection of its time-travel rules, and it is not trying to. Watch it for the scale and the father-son thread.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury: the fireman who starts reading
Short, sharp and still uncomfortable. Read it for the argument about distraction rather than the one about censorship, because the argument about distraction is the one that aged best.
Foundation by Isaac Asimov: the empire that falls on schedule
A chess match across a thousand years, played with ideas instead of people. Read it for the argument rather than the characters, and let the thinness of the cast be part of the point.
Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey: where The Expanse begins
The Expanse at its most grounded. A mystery that becomes a war, told by two narrators who never quite agree. Read it if you want space opera that feels lived in and argued over.
Dune by Frank Herbert: the one that still sets the bar
Still the benchmark. Read it for the world-building, stay for the politics, and do not be put off by the first hundred pages. The density is the point.
