The best SF books I read published in 2014 were:
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North.
The Peripheral by William Gibson.
Echopraxia, sequel to Blindsight by Peter Watts.
Lines of Departure, sequel to Terms of Enlistment by Marko Kloos.
Ancillary Sword, sequel to Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie.
Cibola Burn, 4th in a series that starts with Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey.
A Darkling Sea by James Cambias.
The Peripheral comes out on the 28th here in the U.S. Gibson's return to hard sci fi/cyberpunk. A few people I know had ARCs and have said it's triumphantly Gibsonian.
I have an unrelated recommendation, William Gibson's newish book "The Peripheral". It makes no sense and I had to read the first seven or so chapters twice (they are short). But once it took hold and I understood it-wow. Its science fiction/cyberpunk. Amazing book. You have to be smart to get it. Its probably even a rung too high on the ladder for me, but I was able to power through with help from wikipedia and a slow pace. Its fantastic. Gibson once again reinvents science fiction. Check it out!
The Peripheral by Gibson.
Gibson's new book The Peripheral is amazing. It's set in both the future and the future's future which is no longer the future's future once contact is made with the future's future's past. The two futures are connected by a murder mystery with interweaving plots in both times.
