House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

Here is a decision tree for NPR's best scifi/fantasy books. I just started crossing these out with the phone's image editor when I finish one.

Prisoner of Trebekistan by Bob Harris. It's about the Jeopardy! champion's life and journey through the game, and shares his memorization techniques. It's quite funny and insightful.

AI 2041 by Kai-Fu Lee.

If black mirror was a book this would be it. It blends the current and upcoming AI/tech trends with sci-fi that allows you to explore different worlds and give you perspective on how they can really affect us. There is an analysis at the end of each story and explainds the tech used and where we are in terms of achieving that tech.

Good luck on your reading journey!

Cant recommend a Canticle for Lebowitz enough. It was writen by a WWII bomber and talks about a post apocalyptic United States and how a group of monks preserve the flame of knowledge under the guise of religion to protect knowledge. Extremly well written and reads like a modern scifi novel even though the author only ever wrote the one book. Seriously its one of those books i think everyone should read, extremely impactful and powerful.
