Sci-fi is a beloved part of speculative fiction, and the contemporary authors taking on the genre have pushed boundaries in their upcoming work. The new sci-fi book releases for September 2024 all demonstrate the diversity and ingenuity that has been a hallmark of science fiction since its earliest examples in the literary canon.
