The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov (1972)

What happens when an alien species in another universe tries to save itself — even if it means destroying ours? Asimov’s most emotional work blends physics, alien empathy, and moral tension. The alien sections alone are worth the read: poetic, strange, and deeply humane. Proof Asimov could write heart as well as logic.
