Anathem by Neal Stephenson
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov
Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
The Godmakers by Frank Herbert
Self-Reference ENGINE by Toh EnJoe
*Bonus: Low (comic series) from Image
Cat’s Cradle and Anathem are among my absolute favorites.
+1 for Anathem. Such a good book. It has about 5 different parts where I thought, “remember when this book was about blank.”
