What series by robin hobb could be considered science fiction, because i have to do a project and I need to read a book that is not fantasy. Could you please tell me a series that is not fantasy or one I can get away with?

I don't Robin Hobb aka Megan Lindholm ever wrote science fiction. If this is for a school project, may I suggest Farhenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. It's a science fiction classic.

As I recall, Robin Hobb hasn't written any sci-fi. Other sci-fi series? Well, whether it's sci-fi or fantasy depends on which book you read, but have you tried Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series? Some of the books are definitely geared more towards science fiction.

I would recommend something by Ursula le Guin - maybe "The Left Hand of Darkness" (1969) which won her the Hugo and Nebula awards.

Read Dying of the Light by George R.R. Martin. That's a great book and majorly science ficiton.
