TopShelf TG Fiction in the BigCloset!
I know that there are fans of classic Sci- fi here and I have just finished what I believe is the best robot book since Isaac Asimov. It's Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguru. Ishiguru is a brilliant writer and takes Klara to a level beyond what Asimov did in his robot novels.

WOW! Great Book!!!
WOW! Great Book!!!! I found the main character, Klara, fascinating!
(but the ending was quite sad). I really felt for her.

That ending
I spent a long time that night after reading the book thinking about it and what it said about that society and possibly about ours. That ability to be thought provoking while telling a compelling story may be what seperates a good writer from a great one. One more book in that catagory you might enjoy if you haven't already read it is my favorite ghost story; Beloved by Toni Morrison
