Sounds right up my street this one. Added to my list.
Another one from the same author, good read,based around historical fact .working in the french resistance during ww2. Some lady.

After yesterday’s result, footie is starting to get on my tits a bit…
So I’ve been thinking, maybe it’s time to take up a new sport/recreational hobby:
I guess you’re never too old to be fitted for a full body traction cast!
Yeah… Maybe I’ll just give it a read, lol.

Probably not, mate…
Think I’d have to be insane to try that!
I mean, I pulled my hamstring the other day just from pushing too hard on the loo… For sure I’d break every bone in my body.

My niece has asked for her birthday present one from the following authors.
Philip K Dick ; Isaac Asimov, Ursula Le Guinor, or a 'classic' sci novel. Any advice on the most popular novels by these authors !

I can highly recommend Man in a High Castle by Philip K Dick.

Thought " Do androids dream of electric sheep" would have been your 1st shout
The book is nowhere near as good as Blade Runner.
They took the book, used it as s template and made the film better.

For Asimov, Foundation has been mentioned (first 3 books are the classics, everything else in the series is poor). They were the books that got me into science fiction literature. For me I Robot is better and very much an author at his imperious best - he takes a wonderful idea and explores it thoroughly. Ignore the Will Smith film that has almost nothing to do with the book.
PKD ones mentioned probably best bet. I'm not a massive fan of his ideas or writing.
ULG I've only read The Disposessed which was decent but more and exploration of societal norms than hard sci fi (all depends what you're looking to get from reading sci fi).
Lots of classics kicking about but a gift much depends on what your niece is interested in. The classics of the genre stretch from light-hearted, anti-war satire in Slaughterhouse 5 to Cyberpunk in Neuromancer and everything in between. The early classic that surprised me was Day of the Tryffids - thought it was going to be silly, but it was genuinely tense.
