Cyber Mage by Saad Z. Hossain

In this laugh-out-loud-funny and totally original new novel, Saad Z. Hossain continues his signature genre mashup of SF and fantasy, challenging and subverting everything previously imagined about our future and climate change. A scathing critique of corporate greed, Hossain shows us how to think beyond the naïve ideas of preening moguls like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Goliath by Tochi Onyebuchi

A primal biblical epic flung into the future, Goliath weaves together disparate narratives—a space-dweller looking at New Haven, Connecticut as a chance to reconnect with his spiraling lover; a group of laborers attempting to renew the promises of Earth’s crumbling cities; a journalist attempting to capture the violence of the streets; a marshal trying to solve a kidnapping—into a richly urgent mosaic about race, class, gentrification, and who is allowed to be the hero of any history.

Only a Monster by Vanessa Len

Only a Monster is one of my new favorite books of all time. It’s deeply important to me, as a mixed Asian reader, and I’m so happy that it exists so that kids like me can finally see themselves in books. Vanessa Len managed to perfectly capture so many aspects of biracial identity while keeping you on the edge of your seat.

A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin

A Magic Steeped in Poison is as beautiful as the cover. The book beautifully incorporates the tea theme into every single ounce of this book and makes it come alive, just like the magic system. Everything is so well-rounded that the entire reading experience feels like drinking a hot cup of tea.

Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li

I have never read a book that felt like it was reading into my soul in the same way that Portrait of a Thief did and I absolutely recommend it to every single person. This book is a stunning way to start to understand some of the Asian diaspora experience and I cannot wait to hold my copy in my hands. Thank you so much, Grace Li, this book spoke directly to my soul.
