This month’s science fiction brings us into the world of Greek myth adaptations, plus a cozy apocalypse and a virtual reality haunting. Here are our top picks for the best new science fiction books in February 2023.
Users by Colin Winnette
Type: Novel
Publisher: Soft Skull
Release date: February 21
Den of Geek says: Projecting forward from our current virtual reality and social media trends, Users looks like a thoughtful exploration of parasocial relationships or the way real ones can turn into odd hauntings as social media dredges up once-treasured memories. In contrast to World Running Down, Users isn’t so much a good Valentine’s Day read as an exploration for when relationships and the technology that facilitates them break into familiar but bizarre pieces.
Publisher’s summary: Miles, a lead creative at a midsize virtual reality company known for its “original experiences,” has engineered a new product called The Ghost Lover.
