This month:

- (the second part of) "Judas Unchained" (2005), by Peter F. Hamilton.

- "Planet of the Apes" (1963), by Pierre Boulle. I don't know how much the movies and TV's series did get from its satirical meanings; I'd liked it, but honestly it gives a weird feeling in the guts (but that's was also its purpose imho).
*side note, while Planet of the Apes ispired movies and TV's series, "The Forbitten Planet" by Philip MacDonald (mentioned before) was written on the movie's script instead.

- "Irontown Blues" (2018), by John Varley.

- "The Fountains of Paradise" (1979), by Arthur C. Clarke.

As it was on the 70th Anniversary serie, and contains a short-short novel from the Urania Prize (they made it, years ago, to enhanche italian writtens on sci-fi):
- "The Final Circle of Paradise" (1965, Wikipedia says its title was also 'Predatory Things of the Century'), by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.
* the short story incuded is from Antonella Mecenero.

As I don't recall if having read it or not, I'm on this: "The Book of Joan" (2017), by Lidia Yuknavitch
