"This list... was curated by the team at Tor Online, a prominent platform for science fiction literature... they reached out to their audience, calling upon readers to nominate their favorite science fiction novels. The aim was to compile a definitive list that celebrates the richness and diversity of the science fiction genre, spanning its entire history up to the present day. The titles selected do not necessarily represent the most original, successful, challenging, or influential works in the field... the list stands as a broad cross-section of science fiction literature... intended to offer readers a comprehensive and inspiring exploration of the genre. The selection process, detailed by editor Markus Mäurer in a series of articles, underscores the collaborative effort between the editorial team and the genre's enthusiastic readership, making it a unique and representative compilation for enthusiasts and newcomers alike."
