This list is a direct continuation to the Top 25 Best Science Fiction list...started from the 26th book.
It's always a tricky proposition to suggest the best of anything. My best, quite simply, will never be the same as your best.
Because a 'Top 25 Best of the Best Science Fiction Books' list is not broad enough to include ALL the outstanding science fiction works that have been released over the past century, we've decided to list the Top 100 books, starting from #26 to #100.
It was quite a challenge creating this list because, well, there were so many science fiction books that HAD to be included. But with only 75 spots available, stuff still had to be left off. But if you did NOT see a certain work in the Top 25 list, it's probably in THIS list.
The Top 100 list tries to encompass both old and new science fiction from every genre and from both male and female authors. We (Paul and I) spent a very long time arguing about each and every single entry on the list -- so I assure you, this was not a haphazardly created list. There's a lot of thought behind each book entry.
With that said, THIS is the list covers that we feel comprehensively recommends the greatest science fiction books ever written.
If our curated picks are not enough, please look at the CROWD RANKED version of the list where YOU, the INTERNET, decided on the book positions. You can even submit your own entries to the list -- we have nothing to do with that list.
