Aha! This is the perfect place to ask this!
I've dipped back into reading SF after a long time of only reading the classics (Heinlein et al), and the Three-Body Problem, which I read a few days ago, did seem to me to fit into that mould.
But what are some other modern "hard SF" books you've enjoyed?
- ghaff 8y agoPerhaps most obviously The Martian.
- SonOfLilit 8y agoGreg Egan is my favorite, start perhaps with "Permutation City".
- hindsightbias 8y agoRecent - James Corey (what the Expanse is based off of). Daniel Suarez would be popular in these circles, but more Crichton-y science than next 100 years. Some of Stephenson's books (Seveneves, etc). Others Stephen Baxter, Richard Morgan (Altered Carbon). All great, but I'm more old-school, William Gibson, James P. Hogan, Greg Bear (Eon series), Mary Doria Russell (The Sparrow).
- davrosthedalek 8y agoI liked the Bobiverse.
