My Favorite Sci-Fi Books

Fables in the form of stories that talk about a universe in which visiting other planets is as normal as going to buy bread. The stories that Stanislaw Lem tells in this book are full of humor and interesting reflections .

2. Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury
A compilation of stories that have something in common: they are set on a planet Mars colonized by humans . Ray Bradbury takes full advantage of all the possibilities that this context offers when creating original stories.

3. Ubik, by Philip K. Dick

7. 1984, by George Orwell
A country in permanent state of exception, cameras everywhere and a relentless apparatus of repression of citizens. This novel by George Orwell has been enshrined as one of the best science fiction books because of the parallels that can be drawn between his universe and reality.

An alternative world in which the axis of Nazi Germany and Japan have won the war and occupy the US , with all that this implies in terms of repression and persecution of ethnic minorities.

10. A Happy World, by Aldous Huxley
One of the most famous dystopia for its resemblance to the West of the 21st century . A society in which formal freedom conceals a mode of manipulation based on the constant search for pleasure.
