Thanks for making the question plural :)
I’ll second the vote for Worm. And add the recently-mentioned-here novel Crystal Society, which I’m only partly done with, and can say it’s worthwhile even if it goes to crap from here. Favorite recent mainstream scifi is Among Others.
What are your favorite recent (2011-present) Science Fiction novels?
Worm
Absolutely. Best thing I’ve read in years. Reading Twig now.

Yeah! Basically anything Wildbow does is gold.

The Martian.
Ancillary Justice (Anne Leckie) <the sequels aren’t very good though>
The Long Earth (Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter)
The Martian was a page-turner for sure but I think it actually worked better as a movie.
This is tough, I just realized how many of my favorite books I read in the last 5 years were actually written in either the early 2000s or the 1930s.
The Clockwork Rocket
I really enjoyed The Great North Road https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_North_Road_(book)
