Editor’s note Dark, idea-dense hard science fiction by a former marine biologist. Blindsight, his most read book, follows a crew of altered humans, and a resurrected vampire, sent to meet an alien intelligence that may not be conscious at all; Watts released it free online under a Creative Commons licence. Echopraxia, its sequel, rates lowest. The Freeze-Frame Revolution, a short novel, rates highest.
