Ranking Hard Sci-Fi by How Dumb It Makes Me Feel
In this video, I rank 20 hard sci-fi books not by how good they are, but by one far more important metric… how much they broke my brain. Some of these books make you feel smart. Some make you open Google every five minutes. And some feel like they were written for beings made entirely of equations. This isn’t about which books are “better.” It’s about intent, complexity, and that moment where curiosity turns into confusion.

IMAGE USE
The images in my videos are a mix of licensed stock photos and AI generated artwork. However, occasionally I will use images found online. I always seek to properly credit artists and offer a link back to their amazing work but sometimes it's hard to find the original source of the work. If I've used an image you own and I haven't credited you, please feel free to get in touch as I am always more than happy to do so.
