Best 10 Sci-Fi Books now on the internet and beyond 2025 and why they are so great



Best 10 Sci-Fi Books now on the internet and beyond 2025 and why they are so great

“Featuring original lyrics by Tale Teller Club and artwork by iServalan, The Book of Immersion: Volume 1 offers a multisensory reading experience that is as poetic as it is provocative. It is not merely a story—it is a threshold to another state of being.” (books.google.com)

If you’ve ever wished a novel could sing to you, paint for you, and then whisper its last line through a vocoder, Sarnia de la Mare’s The Book of Immersion is already living in your head. It’s literature spliced with sound art and graphic storytelling—a proof-of-concept for sci-fi as total sensory plunge, and a perfect gateway to ten other speculative masterpieces that also stretch the genre in bold directions.

1. The Book of Immersion by Sarnia de la Mare

Sci-fi imagination apple adam and eve gender fluid

Amazon listing
De la Mare’s debut folds prose, lyrics, and AI-generated visuals into a layered “Strata” structure that mimics a DJ set. The central character—an autistic-coded artificial intelligence named Renyke—experiences emotion like glitching code, making sensory overload a narrative engine rather than a side note. It’s part novel, part concept album, part artbook, and wholly immersive. (books.google.com)

2. Dune by Frank Herbert

Wikipedia
Published in 1965 and still the yard-stick for epic world-building, Dune blends ecology, theology, and real-politik into a desert planet saga so persuasive that planetary scientists now name Titan’s dunes after its planets. The spice-fuelled power struggles feel uncannily contemporary, reminding us that resource wars are timeless. (en.wikipedia.org)

3. Neuromancer by William Gibson

Wikipedia
Gibson’s 1984 cyberpunk heist hard-wired “cyberspace” into popular vocabulary and imagined console cowboys decades before VR headsets hit shelves. Its neon-noir mood and jacked-in hackers still shape everything from The Matrix to modern infosec slang. (en.wikipedia.org)

4. The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

Wikipedia
Le Guin’s 1969 classic sends an envoy to an ice-world where inhabitants are biologically ambisexual. The result is anthropology via first-contact, a meditation on gender fluidity decades before the term went mainstream, and a lesson in how culture can be the strangest alien of all. (en.wikipedia.org)

5. Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

Wikipedia
Stephenson’s 1992 roller-blade ride predicted the Metaverse, viral memes as literal viruses, and pizza-delivery drone capitalism. It’s equal parts linguistic theory and sword-swinging satire, proving that big ideas and break-neck action can share the same page. (en.wikipedia.org)

6. Hyperion by Dan Simmons

Wikipedia
Structured like The Canterbury Tales in space, Hyperion (1989) threads six pilgrim backstories around the terrifying time-bending Shrike. Genre-hopping—from detective noir to military SF—creates a mosaic about faith, storytelling, and the cruelty of time. (en.wikipedia.org)

7. The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin

Wikipedia
Hard science meets Cultural-Revolution history in this 2008 Chinese phenomenon. Liu turns orbital mechanics into existential horror, asking what humanity deserves when the cosmos finally takes notice. (en.wikipedia.org)

8. The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin

Wikipedia
Jemisin launches the Broken Earth trilogy with tectonic apocalypse, second-person narration, and magic as geologic force. It’s a brutal climate-change parable wrapped in a story about oppressed bodies weaponised by empire. (en.wikipedia.org)

9. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

Wikipedia
Weir trades Mars for Tau Ceti in a 2021 page-turner where lone-scientist ingenuity—and an unexpectedly endearing alien—stand between Earth and stellar extinction. A film adaptation from Lord & Miller starring Ryan Gosling just dropped its first trailer this week, so read before Hollywood spoils the twist. (en.wikipedia.org, indiatimes.com)

10. Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie

Wikipedia
Breq, an AI once spread across thousands of bodies, is now trapped in one and out for vengeance. Leckie’s 2013 debut won the Hugo, Nebula, and Clarke in the same year by queering space opera norms—everyone is “she,” and personhood is a matter of degree, not biology. (en.wikipedia.org)

Why these ten?

Each title here rewires science fiction in its own way—whether through multimedia experimentation (Immersion), ecological epics (Dune), digital frontiers (Neuromancer, Snow Crash), or radical takes on identity (Left Hand, Ancillary Justice). Together they map a genre that’s less about rockets and more about possibilities: new politics, new pronouns, new physics, new artforms. Grab any one of them and prepare to exit the airlock of the ordinary.

Strata 22 'Mother' Book of Immersion by Sarnia de la Mare #scifi #adventure #fiction


Welcome to Immersion. You Have reached Strata 22, 'Mother.'


blue purple robots neon sci-fi

Motherhood is a biological function, a social construct, and an emotional archetype. Across species and societies, the maternal role has evolved to ensure survival through protection, instruction, and emotional imprinting. Human children, unlike most other mammals, require prolonged dependency making the maternal figure not only a guardian of life, but a curator of identity.

When that figure is absent, the psychological and neurological void left behind is measurable. Orphanhood alters brain development, attachment behaviors, and future emotional regulation. Foundlings often adapt by reassigning the maternal archetype to others: to peers, to environments, to machines.

Artificial life, if capable of longing, is not exempt from this drive. The desire for origin, for belonging, persists even when the womb is replaced by the code.

The Enclave was an area of polluted land that had been cordoned off and neglected for years ever since the *Russia China Wars. Dinfants were not affected by pollution and used the area to play in. But now that plants had begun to grow, it was more prone to passers by, and even some animals.

"We must be careful not to break her," said Kairo, as he put POS into the *dincart and covered her in leaves and grass from the enclave.

"Is she alive?" Asked Daniel, "is she sick?"
"We won't know until we get back home, let's hope she is fine."

Some of the other Dinfants were becoming anxious.


"We need Mommy so much." 
"Oh we hope mommy is well...."

"There appears to be significant activity in her motherboard. I am sure she is alive," said Kairo, in an attempt to settle the sensitive dinfant babies, some of whom had begun to cry.

There was a tunnel and rudimentary rail line that took the dincarts back to their headquarters. The home was effectively a commune with dormitories filled with children's beds and toy boxes. There was also a battery store, droid charging hotspots, and the *fitkitchens, where dinfants could add or remove bits of themselves to ready for battle. They could also renew worn out parts or move things around their heads and bodies for aesthetic reasons. There was even a store for recycled baby pacifiers and pushchairs, collected from the old landfill sites.

Kairo called for a meeting in *biggyhall.

*POS lay on a plinth gently pulsing.

"Mother is fine," he said to a concerned crowd. "But needs some memory, a processor, graphics card and any other beneficial hardware we can find."

The crowd umm'd and ah'd, watching on excitedly.

"We need the best hardware we can find. So tonight at dark, we are to hunt for Mother's new parts in the *inner zones."

The crowd gasped. The inner zones were out of bounds except for serious missions, the seizure of important artefacts, and occasionally for the retrieval of a new orphan, whose plight had been picked up through the *telewebs or GPS spy signals.

Suzy, a girl of around six, who was one of the best fighters due to her rotating nail thrower, stood up.

"We will split into 4 groups. There are four storage units owned by Shrewen, the banker. His units are guarded by ancient stupid droids who we will either distract, or temporarily capture in *epoxy-resin traps or *barb-nettygotchas. Babies, you are needed to distract them. Stand close to the front gates and act like you are lost. We will do the rest."

Kairo interjected, "remember our moto, 'No Child Left Behind', Whatever it Takes, We All Make it Home."

Then everyone sang the dinfant anthem before being cleared for assignment at the *fitkit.




We are the abandoned


The ones who roam


Never still,


we search for home


We are the orphans of the night


We fly the high roads


and duck the low


Through floods and fire,


We cry the songs


of the gypsy choir



Shabra and Renyke were lying low in a disused tunnel where homeless nomads made temporary stops for heat and rest. They had hidden the car in a  narrow stretch of woodland just east of the zones and had made way into the centre on foot.

"We need to get some money," said Shabra.

"How do we do that?" asked Renyke, who was still a little disorientated from the removal of POS earlier in the day.

"How are your criminal skills Mr Renyke?"

"They have rarely been tested, I am not sure I can judge them.'

"Well tonight my friend, you are going to commit your first robbery." Shabra smiled as if sharing good news.

Renyke looked startled. So much of what had happened in these few short hours since Flex' betrayal was not computing. His memories were mixing up too and he was having difficulty putting things in a timeline.

"I feel I may be depressed," answered Renyke.

"Depressed people still commit crimes. Pull your shit together, I will do the hard part." Shabra tutted and reminded herself that she had made all this happen, and she only had herself to blame.

"Who are we going to rob?" Renyke asked, trying to be upbeat.

"A Mr named Shrewen, has a storage unit east side of the inner zone."

"Oh," replied Renyke, "I think I robbed him once before."

"Hahaha," Shabra giggled, "another Renyke surprise to keep me on my dancing toes, and I shall laugh where e're he goes." 

And at that she threw him a pistol, and told him to keep it hidden.

The Book of Immersion: Volume 1
by Sarnia de la Mare

In a future where code meets consciousness, one being begins a haunting transformation. Renyke—an AI on the edge of humanity—awakens to emotion, sensory overload, and the fragile beauty of connection. Guided by the enigmatic Flex, their deepening bond explores intimacy and friendship, neurodivergence, and the complex world of feeling through an autistic spectrum lens.

Blending song lyrics, art, and prose, this immersive debut challenges what it means to be alive, to belong, and to feel.

Enter the Strata: a surreal digital dreamscape where memory loops, code pulses with emotion, and identity is anything but fixed.


book cover female AI story war

In this stunning debut volume of the Immersion series, multidisciplinary artist Sarnia de la Mare conjures a visionary world where art, sound, and story collide. At its heart is Renyke—a sentient intelligence beginning a strange and beautiful transition toward human consciousness. As he evolves, Renyke begins to experience the world through heightened sensory perception and emotional intensity, developing a neurodivergent lens that invites deep reflection on the autistic experience.

Far from clichés, this journey explores autism as a rich and complex way of being—one where emotion runs deep, empathy takes unexpected forms, and connection can be both overwhelming and exquisite.

Guided by Flex, a mysterious and gender-shifting companion, Renyke begins to question not only what it means to be human, but what it means to feel, to desire, and to belong. Their bond becomes a central thread—tender, ambiguous, and charged with the quiet intimacy.

Featuring original lyrics by Tale Teller Club and artwork by iServalan, The Book of Immersion: Volume 1 offers a multisensory reading experience that is as poetic as it is provocative. It is not merely a story—it is a threshold to another state of being.

Strata 21: Love and Loss, Book of Immersion Volume 2 by Sarnia de la Mare


Welcome to Immersion. You have reached Strata 21.

Love is not always gentle. Sometimes it breaks you to make you whole.

In this poignant chapter of The Book of Immersion, transformation cuts deep. Ties are severed, wounds opened, and something unfamiliar is born. As control systems collapse and allegiances shift, Renyke must confront a world that no longer speaks through him, but waits for him to speak for himself.

Meanwhile, shadows gather at Redact. Secrets stir in the zones. And a forgotten relic pulses in the hands of the innocent.


Love. Loss. Rebirth. Nothing remains untouched.


The Book of Immersion — Strata 21: Love and Loss
By Sarnia de la Mare





Welcome to Immersion, You have reached Strata 21.
Strata 21: Love and Loss.

Love is not always a warm hand or a soothing voice. Sometimes love is as sharp as a samurai sword and it severs deep ties once longed for. It can lacerate the flesh of existence so deep it bleeds and spews all that a human has ever known.
As a mother cuts the cord, as a friend ends a lie, these ties once meant to bind are decimated. What remains when they are gone is loss in search of gain.

Love, in its truest form, does not always choose comfort, it chooses survival.

To lose love is to learn its weight. To survive it's loss is to grow something in its place. Its replacement is built from evolution, so deeply magnificent and important to all humans. But love does not need a host, it exists without a vessel, and it is sought.

Shabra’s hands were stained with blood.

The echo of Renyke’s cry still clung to the air. He had yelped like an animal as Shabra had pinned him down. Flex had gone, his wounded body dragged into the shadows by Redact’s *runners.

Renyke lay still. He was breathing and regaining consciousness, opening his eyes to a bright sun and a sense of history repeating itself. Shabra leaned close, brushing hair from his temple.

"You're okay," she stated matter-of-factly, though she couldn't know for sure.

On the back of his neck was a wound, now stitched, cleaned and cauterised.

“I had to,” she told him. “She was overriding you. I couldn’t let her keep speaking through your mouth. You deserve to hear yourself, not her. *'Sides you need to let go of all that code shit, be a man."

He didn’t answer. His breathing was shallow but regular.

The removal had gone technically well. The damage POS had done to his emotional regulators, less so.

“You’ll stabilise,” she murmured. “But you may not understand why it hurts. Change hurts. We move on.”

POS lay on a rock, immobilised, now without a host and devoid of her power. No flicker remained and this was death, thought Shabra, who was used to death in the *zones. Humans and machines do not last forever after all.

“You had your chance,” she had said as she pulled it ceremonially from Renyke's neck. “Now he gets his.”

Shabra let Renyke sleep for three hours, watching his silent mind as it readjusted to its new state.

He blinked once. Twice. He was alive, a strong and handsome man born of code and now transformed.

He sat up too fast, then froze.

"It feels so quiet, no buzz, no electricity.” he exclaimed, slightly confused as he recalled the circumstances of how he had got there.

“Has POS gone?” Renyke touched his neck and winced.

Shabra nodded.

“Yes.”

“She was part of your architecture Mr Renyke, It’ll feel strange. But you’ll adapt, we all gotta grow up sometime.”

But it was no time to get sentimental.

“You’re safe for now, they can't trace you, not without POS, but we need to get moving soon. It's time to disappear. I have a feeling they'll want you dead or alive.”

At Redact Flex is undergoing a serious grilling for losing POS and not killing Renyke.

He stood before the Cadre in silence. He wasn't used to failure and it showed.

"I didn't see it coming," he expained, "she came out of nowhere and put a gun to my head. That woman is a threat to anyone, ballsy and cold. Then she knocked me out."

Eventually, Cadre Dominia spoke. “We understand it was a difficult situation but you were careless. They are no doubt long gone by now.”

"We need to examine the experiment "said Cadre Angelique."We believe the POS has been removed and Renyke may be of value to us. The experiment may have more revelations without the interference of his POS."

Flex nodded in agreement. "I can find them, the zones are my grounds, no one can hide for long," he assured the panel who looked down from their elevated plinths.

Cadre Santina spoke. "This woman, Shabra, we have not been able to find her previous path, there seems to be an absence of information. Do we know anything about her?"

Flex answered, "she is a maverick, works with no particular tribe, possibly a mercenary of course, I could not be sure. But she is tricky and able, certainly an asset to Renyke at this time if he does not want to be found."

Cadre Dominia thought for a moment, "They have a connection, Renyke and Shabra, so perhaps the experiment was successful after all. A machine that can connect, desire, perhaps even love. One that can metamorphose into a human. This is what we wanted to prove. It was the interference of the POS that was the real threat.

"Cadre Santina, can we know for sure where the POS is now?," she asked

"There is a faint signal at the point of the failed transition, " explained Cadre Santina, We believe it was removed form the host and it now static, probably discarded following it's removal and left as a decoy."

"Send a rat scout to collect it." said Cadre Dominia, "we can have it destroyed, it remains a threat."

The three women exchanged no visible glances. Flex could feel the weight of his failure.

Cadre Dominia finally spoke, “You will locate the subjects. The humanoid must be analysed. The experiment has not concluded. I do not need to stress how important it is that Renyke is not to be intercepted by other powerful organisations, or, worse still, a *crim gang. His capture by an undesirable force could have dangerous consequences. Kill him if necessary, if he falls into enemy hands.”

Flex drew a slow breath and closed his eyes for a few seconds to compose and re-align. It had been a difficult and highly charged few days with an intensity that had been frightening even by his warrior standards. He had bonded with Renyke, The prospect of killing him was not welcome. He would do what he could to bring him to Redact unharmed.

“They’ll be moving fast,” he said. “Shabra knows how to hide. And Renyke, he’s altered. He won’t be who we expect.”

“Then find who he has become,” Cadre Santina demanded. "I do not want to send a whole army for one man. Do your job, return the experiment unharmed or destroy him if you have to and we will perform a thorough autopsy."

"And what of Shabra?" Asked Flex.

"Collateral damage, although she could be of use as a soldier," exclaimed Cadre Dominia. "Keep an open mind but do not jeopardise your mission for her survival.

On a rock within a sheltered enclave a stray ray of light reflected onto a small square of metal through swaying trees. The metal button glistened as the young *Dinfant boy, Daniel, ran into the enclave to retrieve his ball. Daniel approached carefully, watching the button glisten as he did so. The closer he moved towards the rock the more the button began to pulse. Daniel began to scream.

"Kairo, Kairo....come quickly!"

Several Dinfants ran into the enclave.

"What is it, Daniel?" Kairo was concerned, it was rare that a Dinfant would be separated from his kin.

"What on earth is the matter?"

" I found her!" screamed Daniel.

"Who, who have you found?" Asked Kairo.

More Dinfants came, drawn by the commotion. Aghast and speechless they looked at the rock as Daniel pointed towards the pulsating button."

"I found her, look, I found her, I found Mommy."

Strata 20 The Perimeter (Ego) The Book of Immersion by Sarnia de la Mare

Welcome to Immersion, You have reached Strata 20

 The Perimeter (Ego)


 

abstract art animals demons sinew Renyke mind altering scifi
The human ego is a complex mix of self-importance, pride, and self worth. It is both a curse and a blessing. It is an important aid to self-expression and self-discovery. Humans need ego to function. A well balance ego falls somewhere between arrogant pride and humility.


Artificial intelligence proves to be more animal in its instincts with minimal self-awareness. Animals are not able to self reflect or to see themselves in abstract contexts. They do not register a past or a future in terms of reflection and self validity.


But programmers have created selfish motives in AI, important goals on a completion trajectory and devoid of internal moral analysis. A programmed faux 'ego' manifests as a goal that must proceed regardless, irrelevant of vanities and consequences. Vanities and consequences set humans apart.




Renyke, Flex and Nigel followed the dark tunnels for some time before natural light appears between giant crags.


The sky above is blue and welcoming as the trio stop to say their goodbyes.


'Thank you for your hospitality, brother Nigel,' exclaimed Flex breathing the fresh air deep into his lungs and squinting at the sun.


Renyke was glad to be free of the confines of the caves.


'Misters, we have reached the end of the tunnels,' said Nigel. 'It was a pleasure to have been your assistant these past hours. I am to deliver a message from the Empress Lyra herself that you are elevated to the most honourable position of *Seed Givers and your names will be carved into the wall of the great hall along with your portraits.'


At that, Nigel scurried back into the darkness and disappeared from view.


The light was a stark reminder that the real world existed despite them, an immovable force with its hard truths and sometimes fatal consequences.




***



Beyond the tunnels was an open sun-drenched space flanked with beautiful trees. It was hot. After the *warmings even winter days in northern Europe were hot.


 Renyke asks *POS for an update.


...You are one mile from *Redact you should travel east.... there is a gate...and a fenced perimeter that appears to be inaccessible...


They walk in silence eastward across flint terrain finally reaching a path flanked by high trees undulating in a determined breeze.

At the end of the path there is a gate.


It is flanked by beautifully carved trees depicting beautiful women, something Renyke had seen before.


'Like the ship,' said Renyke, looking quizzically at Flex, who always seemed to know much more than he ever let on.


'Ah, yes,' replies Flex, 'the Ship of Sirens, it is indeed like that brother.'


’You said they were dangerous,’ said Renyke, quizzically.


‘Not strictly brother, I just said not to look at them, they get funny 'bout that *shitsylook stuff.’


Renyke asks POS if they have arrived at Redact.


...According to my data there are several entrances, north, south, east, and west. This is the south gateway. ... I am getting some interference....there may be  a trap nearby......85% chance of  a hostile situation. I am receiving scrambled information from a rogue intercepting satellite. The trap may be two yards ahead...possibly adjacent...


Can you be more specific?


...There is an equal chance of serious harm either through the gateway, following the perimeter fence ahead, or by standing still.....


 POS began to sound an alarm


....I am receiving signals, warning! danger! I have been compromised.....interception via human named Flex.....


POS cuts in an out of communication.


Flex stares at Renyke.


'You have disabled POS, what is going on?' Demanded Renyke.


'I might ask you the same question,' Flex said, grabbing Renyke's collar and pointing a gun at his temple.'


'Who are you? Are you an android?'


'No, I work for Redact, I was to bring you here. Your POS is an implant of unknown origin, it is not a *Metacoms' issue.'


'For what purpose am I brought here,' quizzed Renyke,' unable to activate any of his bionics because of the sabotage and his recent humanisation.


'You would need to ask Redact,' Flex answered. 'There is something inside your motherboard. It has presented us with a problem and halted your human android fusion.'


'I don't know what you mean,' said Renyke, calmly as the realisation of his mission became clearer.


Maybeline jumps out of Renyke's pocket onto Flex's shoulder and watches.


'Well, that is just not true is it, Renyke? You were sent here as a spy. The machine wants its way in, and you thought you'd found it.'


'I assure you, Flex, I did not know, I had no idea. Please, I beg you, do not end my life, we are friends, brothers. We are bonded by our time together. You helped me, do I mean nothing to you?'


Flex receives instruction from Redact.


'Your mission has failed. Kill the experiment immediately.'
