I am surprised there was no Egan book in the list. He's in the top 5 of hard sci fi authors you should definitely read

- freetonik 2y agoThe list starts with Project Hail Mary, which is as far from Egan as I can imagine on the science fiction spectrum.
- bwb 2y agoWe've got 10 lists with him as well: https://shepherd.com/search/author/1445 https://shepherd.com/search/author/1445 You can see how they connected to him there too.
- n4r9 2y agoI think Egan is much better known than most (if not all) of the authors in the list. I've heard of Andy Weir and Hugh Howey, but not the particular books listed by them. Conversely I've heard about Permutation City quite often.
- sumtechguy 2y agoMany 'you should read these lists' are just that lists. Usually by the author of the list and things they have read and think you should too. That they missed something is not surprising. Lists like this have an air of authority when they usually boil down to 'things I have seen/read and like/hate'. I use them as interesting things to go thru to see if there is anything I missed.
