According to the poll we ran when we launched our Books & Comics Space, the often-linked genres of science fiction and fantasy have more readers than any other genre here in our community. We'll gradually put together lists and guides to share recommendations across genres, but we figured we'd start with the most popular!

So go on and tell us: which is the best sci-fi or fantasy novel you've ever read, and why?

We'll need at least 50 words and ideally more on what makes your choice so good, and we'd love it if you included pictures of its cover art so we can all recognise it on the shelves. 20 of the best and most detailed recommendations get $1 each!

Task: Tell us which is the best sci-fi or fantasy novel you know and why

Format: At least 50 words, and ideally more, of original writing or video, with optional third-party images encouraged
