Here’s some I’ve really enjoyed recently:
- Octavia Butler (Everything)
- Becky Chambers (Wayfarers)
- Martha Wells (Murderbot)
- Liu Cixin (3 body problem/ dark forest)
- N.K. Jemisin (Broken Earth & and cities we became)
- Dennis E. Taylor (Bobiverse)
- hgibbs 5y agoThank you for your suggestions! I have read some of N.K Jemisin and enjoyed what I read, the others I have not heard of except for Liu Cixin. I've read the three-body problem but I found it a bit jarring how 'magical' the resolution was - it was speculative but in a bizarre/surreal way rather than in a 'plausible extension of reality' way. Is it worth pushing through to the later books?
- joe-collins 5y agoI picked up the Three-Body Problem due to the hype, and similarly found myself put off by the wildly fantastic photon magic.
