20 Best science fiction novels for every sci-fi fan

13) The Children of Men by P. D. James

Trending

British novelist P.D. James created a contemporary masterpiece that feels unnervingly current every year by developing an all too believable premise. James imagines a scenario in which the birth rate has dropped to zero. England is ruled by an authoritarian regime, drawing inspiration from the problem of dropping birthrates worldwide. James examines human weakness, love, hopelessness, and the social need for procreation within this narrative framework. James's talent for eloquent, incisive characterization and gradually building suspense elevates this book to a remarkable level.
