If we have to say more than "utopian socialism on sentient spaceships" to sell you on this series, it may not be for you, but give it a shot anyway, won't you? Banks started the Culture series at a time when space opera was considered facile and passé, and took full advantage of that attitude to reinvent and revitalize the genre, offering a smart, playful, and often stylistically flashy subversion of space opera tropes wrapped around a core of radical politics.

The weird, the wacky, the underappreciated: A new look at science fiction and fantasy - The
Even 10 years ago, the fields of science fiction and fantasy were still overwhelmingly American and white. And, if you grew up speaking Spanish in Mexico City, (as I, Silvia, did), or Hebrew on a small kibbutz in Israel (as I, Lavie, did), it meant that the world of science fiction, filtered through translation, was as remote and alien as the other side of the moon. The very idea we could be writing novels like these seemed, well, fantastical.
Yet, somehow, here we are. The past decade has seen the science-fiction world change as more international voices enthusiastically jumped into the fray. Now, wonderful writers including Malaysian Zen Cho can write smart, funny fantasies such as "Sorcerer to the Crown"; after years of struggle, Nigerian Tade Thompson's ambitious Africa-set novel, "Rosewater," was published to wide acclaim and recently won the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award; and Chinese author Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem," translated by Ken Liu, has become a bestseller and even has a recommendation from former president Barack Obama.
17 best new science fiction and fantasy books to read in October - Polygon
Fall is upon us, which means that it's a good time to cozy up on the couch with a good book and a warm beverage of choice.
One of my recent books was one that came out earlier this year: The Bird King , by G. Willow Wilson. The novel follows a concubine named Fatima, who resides in the royal court of Grenada, just as Spain is consolidating itself under the Inquisition. Her friend Hassan has a secret: he can shape reality through his work as a map-maker, he can change landscapes or create doors with a quick sketch. His talents attract the attention of the inquisitors, who have come to Grenada to negotiate the kingdom's surrender, and force Fatima and Hassan into a desperate escape, aided by a djinn and other unexpected allies as they try and find safety.
The novel is beautifully written, and it's a powerful story about freedom and one's ability to write one's own destiny. So while not new, the book shouldn't go overlooked.

Marvel Comics' X-Men reboot is a superhero science fiction triumph - Polygon
In the world of superhero comics, line-wide reboots are a dime a dozen. And it's for precisely those reasons that House of X and Powers of X — "TWO SERIES THAT ARE ONE," as the back of every issue proclaimed — hit the comics community so hard.
X-Men fans were hopeful, of course, and those familiar with Jonathan Hickman's previous work knew enough to expect something galaxy brain. But I think it's safe to say that no one expected literal galaxy brains .
X-Men experts can attest to the series' deep and specific roots in X-Men lore . But Hickman, and artists Pepe Larraz and R.B. Silva (with Tom Muller on graphics), have continued the legacy of Marvel's Merry Mutants in at least one other way: They challenged our ideas of what science fiction could look like in a superhero setting.
Science fiction in superhero comics is a messy, blended affair, and it has been for decades. It's hard not to be, in one of the few modern genres that preserves the idea of the "mad scientist."
