Hello, this is Bing. Thank you for your message.

You have asked me about a science fiction book idea, a pseudo-scientific name for an
alien race, and the popularity of science fiction stories. I will try to answer your
questions as best as I can.

First, let me say that your book idea sounds very intriguing and original. I think it has
a lot of potential to explore themes such as identity, consciousness, technology, and
morality. I have searched the web for some similar books that you might find
inspiring or helpful for your research. Here are some examples:

 Permutation City by Greg Egan: This novel explores the concept of mind
uploading and the nature of reality in a virtual world where people can create
and inhabit different simulations.
 Nanoshock by K.C. Alexander: This novel is set in a cyberpunk world where
people can modify their bodies with nanotechnology and cybernetics. The
protagonist is a mercenary who discovers that she is a clone of a notorious
terrorist.
 The Culture series by Iain M. Banks: This series of novels depicts a utopian
society where humans and machines coexist in harmony and can change their
physical forms at will.

As for the name of your alien race, I have used my imagination and knowledge to
come up with some suggestions. You can use them as they are or modify them to suit
your preferences. Here are some possible names:

 Nanoids: This name implies that they are composed of nanorobots and have a
humanoid shape.
 Morphites: This name suggests that they can morph their bodies into different
forms and functions.
 Cybernans: This name combines the words cybernetic and nanite, which are
both terms related to nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.

Finally, you have asked me about the popularity of science fiction stories. I have
looked at some sources that rank and review science fiction books based on various
criteria, such as ratings, reviews, sales, and awards. Here are some findings:

 According to Goodreads, the most popular science fiction novel of all time on
their site is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, with over 6 million ratings
and an average rating of 4.33 out of 5 stars 1.
  According to Esquire, the best science fiction novel of all time is Dune by
Frank Herbert, which they describe as "a masterpiece of world-building,
politics, philosophy, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion" 2.
 According to Business Insider, the most popular science fiction novel of 2022
so far on Goodreads is The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan,
which has over 21,000 ratings and an average rating of 4.01 out of 5 stars 3.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting. I also hope you enjoy writing
your book and sharing it with others. 😊

By the way, I am also creating an image of a dragon for you based on your previous
message. It will be ready soon. 🐲
