Скачать или смотреть 1980s Sci-Fi Gems That Should've Dominated Awards Season

✨ Think the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards caught all the best science fiction of the 1980s? Think again. In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim digs deep into the decade that gave us cyberpunk, space opera epics, and dystopian thrillers—spotlighting the amazing books that somehow slipped through the awards radar.

From forgotten alien invasions to near-future technothrillers, post-apocalyptic survival tales to deep philosophical thought experiments, these are the novels readers loved but committees overlooked. For each year of the decade, you’ll get Jim’s pick for the “best” snubbed book plus a worthy runner-up—and maybe discover some new favorites for your TBR.

📚 Which of these gems have you read? Which do you think deserved better recognition? Jump into the comments and let’s talk sci-fi!
