I’ve been reading way too much Scifi lately and interpreted this headline differently than intended.

  What did you read? Any recommendations? Yearning for quality sci-fi…

    Not who you replied to but I’m currently listening to Ministry for the future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Other books by him I’ve enjoyed are 2312, set in the solar system in the year 2312, and then of course the Mars trilogy.

    I've the temptation to jump in and recommend the "Ancillary Justice" series, and if you can handle a bit of pseudo-horror, the "Hyperion" series is fantastic too.

      I wouldn't call Baru Cormorant series a sci-fi, it's more like a fantasy genre, admittedly less of magic and such. Nevertheless, it's unusual and certainly can recommend. For the sci-fi I would also add more modern writers like Greg Egan, Alastair Reynolds, Hannu Rajaniemi, Liu Cixin, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Aliette de Bodard, and many others, often overlooked. Every single one of those have their unique imagination, vastly different from another. Quite recommend all of them to get the broader set of points of view.

    A recent highlight for me was the Bobiverse series.
