Abstract

The article highlights notable science fiction books published in 2025, showcasing a mix of new and previously published works now available in English. Key recommendations include "Ice" by Jacek Dukaj, an alternative history set in a winter-stricken 1920s Europe, and "Beasts of the Sea" by Iida Turpeinen, which addresses environmental destruction through the story of the extinct Steller’s sea cow. Other highlighted titles include "Slow Gods" by Claire North, "Here and Beyond" by Hal LaCroix, and Ian McEwan's speculative work "What We Can Know," set in a drowned England. The article also suggests classic sci-fi reads like "The Prestige" by Christopher Priest and "Neuromancer" by William Gibson for those new to the genre. [Extracted from the article]
