I skimmed through the answers and didn't find anything to do with math. To anyone interested in math, what math text/books and papers of the decade seemed the most interesting to you?
As far as fiction, this decade I discovered Peter Watts, Ted Chiang and Clive Barker. Now I am obsessed with horror and sci-fi in the style of these authors. If you are into these genres (and possibly authors), who/what blew you away this decade? Thanks.
- andrewf 7y agoYou may like Alastair Reynolds, he does hard scifi infused with elements of horror and space opera. He doesn't tear down his characters' minds to the degree Peter Watts does.
- zwilliamson 7y agoI just finished Revelation Space and really enjoyed it.
- vowelless 7y agoDidn't see my answer... ? If you want to go into papers, that should be a different topic IMO.
- warlog 7y agoNeuropath by R Scott Bakker (if you liked Peter Watts)
- lubujackson 7y agoNever Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro felt similar to Ted Chiang's carefully prepared and high-minded sci-fi. They both write with a poetic sensibility that puts the sci-fi elements in the background.
