**googles sci-fi books** – nope, not read any of them
**googles childrens sci-fi books** – apparently Charlie and the Chocolate Factory counts, so I guess it has to be that…

I liked Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.. It made me cry on a bus. Which is the marker for a good book. Public crying.
I also like Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. But that didn’t make me cry.

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood – they’ve made it into a TV show but I can’t watch it because it’s on Hulu. And I don’t know what Hulu is?

That’s kind of a big question. My favourite I read this year was probably the book of short stories called Stories Of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang.
It has the original story for the film Arrival in it, which is even more world-altering than the film. It also has a story where the tower of Babel is built (from the bible) and the people actually dig through the sky to the other side. It also has a story where angels are real and it’s really traumatic for nearly everyone. And another one set at a college where people can use a brain implant to ignore the physical attractiveness of other people…
