Hi everyone, first of all I am nothing to promote here just looking for honest advice. I am trying to get into science fiction books but I am not sure where to start. There are so many titles and authors, and honestly I feel a little overwhelmed. I tried doing some research on reddit sci-fi threads, Quora answers, and also read a few blogs on NewYorkTimes, Tor.com and Goodreads. But still I am confuse because every site recommend different books. I am looking for something that is engaging, not too hard to read for a beginner but still has interesting ideas, maybe futuristic or space related. So far I found these options that people suggest a lot: Science Fiction Before Science Fiction – Anthology of Ancient Sci-Fi Texts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHDNPY3H?tag=newyork-times-20 Reboot: ORIGIN OVERRIDE – End of Evolution by Seo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3NCQC44?tag=newyork-times-20 I see that Dune is very famous and has deep world-building, Ender’s Game is quick to read and fun, and The Martian is realistic and exciting. I would love to hear from people who already read these or other sci-fi books. Which one is best to start with? Or is there another book you think is perfect for someone new to sci-fi?

I have been searching for the past few days about whether mathematics is called the mother of science. I often end up debating with people, especially those from a physics background, who argue that physics is the real mother of science. This has left me quite confused and I would really like to know which one is more accurate. I would appreciate your opinions on this from a scientific perspective. It would be even more helpful if each of you could explain with an example. Thank you in advance.
