Episode Synopsis
✨ The 1990s were packed with groundbreaking science fiction—cyberpunk matured, space opera returned in force, and near-future thrillers exploded. The Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards recognized plenty of classics…but they didn’t catch everything.In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim takes you year by year through the 1990s to spotlight the top two sci-fi novels from each year that were completely overlooked by the major awards. These are the books that readers loved, critics praised, or that sold strongly—but somehow never got the big award nods.From forgotten space adventures to hard-SF gems and dystopian thrillers that deserved more recognition, you’ll discover which titles truly stand the test of time, even without a trophy.📚 Which of these overlooked 90s sci-fi novels have you read?
