Peter Watts has a good biology background so his books are pretty accurate when it comes to sci-fi advances with biology. Definitely better than most authors who usually focus more on physics/engineering.
I liked “Blindsight” and “The Freeze-Frame Revolution”
I would also appreciate any recommendations for hard sci-fi authors with a biology focus, I’m sure there are many more I don’t know.
- kryptn 5y agoI really enjoyed Blindsight, I'll have to check out your other suggestion. Thanks!
- BLKNSLVR 5y agoBlindsight was great, Echopraxia not as good, but I still enjoyed it. I'll be searching out "The Freeze-Frame Revolution" for sure, thanks. Hard sci-fi / biology crossover: https://www.gregegan.net/TERANESIA/TERANESIA.html https://www.gregegan.net/TERANESIA/TERANESIA.html
