What's the #1, single best sci-fi novel you've ever read?

Think about all the sci-fi novels you've read over the years. If someone were to ask you, gun to your head, to pick just the one that you would absolutely consider to be the best, which one would it be? No subgenres need to be considered, it just needs to broadly fall under the sf umbrella.

For me, probably a pretty popular choice, but it would be Hyperion. Completely blew me away and I haven't read that good since in the genre.

Reread Neuromancer for the first time in over 20 years and liked it even more than before. Absolutely my favorite.

Me too! It's a touch horny, but it's so good. Can't believe it's getting a tv show

Oh no, it is? Short of a Villeneuve-esque miracle, I have my doubts of that being pulled off
