From Powell's Books: "This is the list we compiled from those discussions, a list of books populated with mutants and robots and alien civilizations, prophets and thieves and shadows, mystics and inventors and space creatures. These are magical, larger-than-life books filled with mythology and adventure, galactic wars and history, science and philosophy, love and loss — books that aren't afraid to explore issues of climate, race, gender identity, sexuality, and class, alongside much more intimate subjects, like heartache and hope... The 21st century is still young, but there have already been so many amazing science-fiction and fantasy books published. These are the 25 we consider essential."
