What are some of your favorite science fiction books and why? If you had to pick only a few. As of writing this post my favorites are the following.

The Quantum Magician
Three Body Problem
Children of Time

I tend to like in-depth explanations of the fictional science that exists in-universe as well as a good mystery.

So many good recommendations! I'd like to add Ernest Cline's 'Ready Player One' which I thoroughly enjoyed. Look into it if you are looking for a fun quick read and are somewhat interested in computer games and/or role playing.

For all suggested titles I can only recommend to read the books first. The movies are just a pale imitation and are lacking so much! Especially The Expanse but also the above mentioned Ready Player One are to be read IMHO.
