There’s an interesting group of science fiction novels this year and I have read one of the nominations. The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson.
Two more interesting standouts are:
Threading the Labyrinth by Tiffany Angus; and Water Must Fall by Nick Wood.
The winner is The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin
