One of my favorite current authors is Peter Watts. His Blindsight is absolutely sublime and insightful, and I reread it frequently (and get more out of it each time).
Apparently he's written for Crysis and his next book is on backburner because Video Games actually pay rent :-).

- shoo 1y agoWatts is an excellent hard scifi author & a lot of his older writing -- including many short stories, the Rifters trilogy (Starfish/Maelstrom/Behemoth) and the excellent novel Blindsight are available to read here: https://www.rifters.com/real/shorts.htm https://www.rifters.com/real/shorts.htm Peter Watts has been interviewed on the science fiction podcast "tales from the bridge" a few times -- IIRC on this episode with Peter Watts & Richard K Morgan (author of Altered Carbon), both authors discussed writing for video games. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-chat-with-peter-watts-richard-k-morgan-part-one/id1570902818?i=1000663257661 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-chat-with-peter-watt...
