An uplift experiment gone sideways turns a planet of spiders into a rising civilization, and the result is one of the most ambitious and genuinely alien evolution stories science fiction has produced.

by Orson Scott Card

Included with Kindle Unlimited

by Becky Chambers
Becky Chambers's A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a gentle slice of cozy science fiction: a tea monk and a wild robot walk into the woods together to ask what people actually need. It's a short, warm book that trades plot for big, unhurried questions about purpose and enoughness.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by Cixin Liu
Cixin Liu's Hugo-winning The Three-Body Problem opens during China's Cultural Revolution and ends staring down an alien invasion four centuries away. It's first-contact science fiction built on real physics and cold game theory, the rare novel where the biggest jolts come from ideas rather than action.
Included with Kindle Unlimited
by H. G. Wells
H. G. Wells's slim 1895 masterpiece more or less invents the time-travel novel, sending its Victorian inventor hundreds of thousands of years forward to a future that is equal parts wonder and warning. Compact, ingenious, and still startlingly resonant.

by Amal El-Mohtar
Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone's This Is How You Lose the Time War is a slim, fierce epistolary romance between two enemy agents trading letters across the wreckage of warring timelines. It's science fiction built on language and longing more than mechanics, and it rewards readers who love prose that performs.
