Another year is in the books—literally! It feels like we only just started exploring this year’s sci-fi wonders, and now it’s time to reflect on the stories that moved us, thrilled us, and left us thinking long after we turned the last page (or hit pause).

At Discover Sci-Fi, we’ve been blown away by the talent on display this year, and as tradition demands, we’re not keeping this reflection to ourselves. We want you to join us in celebrating the year’s best sci-fi reads.

Introducing: The DSF Awards Trophy

This year, thanks to the incredible success and growing momentum of our annual awards, we’re excited to present a custom-designed trophy to the winner for Best Overall Sci-Fi of the Year.

The DSF Award is more than just a symbol of achievement—it’s a celebration of innovation, creativity, and the imaginative spirit that drives the sci-fi genre forward. The DSF Award represents the fusion of classic and futuristic elements, embodying the essence of science fiction.
