Imagine I could only choose 5 sci fi books for a brand new sci fi reader -- what would they be?

Ok ok, I might not get a lot of support with this list, but SciFi is actually what turned me into an avid reader...now it's not just SciFi but also non fiction (gasp!). So the list below is somewhat the path I followed, with some mods

Ready Player One
Project Hail Mary
Murderbot
Bobiverse
Pandora's Star

The list starts off with some quick, punchy brain candy then graduates into big ol' operas :-)

I haven't read Pandora's Star, but I love everything else on that list. Since we seem to have similar tastes, I'll give it a shot next!
