Nalo Hopkinson recommends

The Annunciate (1999)
Severna Park
"Intricately thought out and compelling; love, duty, subjugation and first contact play out in worlds where humans interface with technology which is organic, personal, and shaped by individual creative vision. A beutifully concieved story."

The Chronoliths (2001)
Robert Charles Wilson
"If you read science fiction for its scientific extrapolations, then there's much here to satisfy. If, like me, you read the genre for its examinations of human lives in a crucible, then The Chronoliths also delivers the goods."

Space-Age Bachelor Pad (2004)
(Coyote Kings, book 1)
Minister Faust
"Off the freakin' hook. Minister Faust writes with heart, style, humor, and attitude to spare."

Redemption in Indigo (2010)
Karen Lord
"The impish love child of Tutuola and Marquez. Utterly delightful."

The Liminal People (2011)
(Liminal People, book 1)
Ayize Jama-Everett
"The world won't ever look quite the same again."

The Freeze-Frame Revolution (2018)
Peter Watts
"Watts displays a gleefully macabre inventiveness combined with scientific rigour."
