2. Manhattan Projects
This list would be a complete and utter travesty if I failed to include Manhattan Projects.
Created by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra, the series is essentially historical sci-fi starring the team behind the real life Manhattan Project, which resulted in the atomic bomb’s creation during World War II. The book starts from there, but spins off into a hundred thousand super weird directions you never could have anticipated from the get go.
Einstein the interdimensional barbarian? Check. The robot-armed Wernher von Braun? Check. The not quite human Enrico Fermi? Check. FDR AI, freemason Truman, talking space dog Laika? Check, check, and check.
Seriously, if you’re a history geek and want some obscenely nerdy science fiction you need to have this sitting on your shelf. And even if you aren’t, this is the kind of balls to the wall fun that you undoubtedly need more of in your life.
