best-selling science fiction

Some of the current bestsellers in Science Fiction:

  • The Burning World by Isaac Marion
  • Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs
  • The Turn by Kim Harrison
  • The Starfishers Trilogy by Glen Cook
  • Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
From what I can tell, readers nowadays are into alternate universes or the involvement of species other than humans. There's not much technology, cyberpunk and biopunk alike. The titles also don't give an indication of the plot just from reading the title, so most likely readers want to be surprised as they go and figure out the meaning of the title themselves.

If I had the money, I'd probably purchase New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson because it's most likely about the city in that time frame. I love New York. It'd be interesting to see the author's take on the city in that time period.
