@sciencefiction I love Jeff Vandermeer, China Mieville, Neal Stephenson, Delaney and Wolfe. Would love some recs from the last 10 years or so (I’ve only read expanse + cixin liu recently).

For starters, definitely read Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson. So good.
And The Peripheral by William Gibson, although I wasn’t a huge fan of the follow-up novel called Agency.
Also, A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine should be on your to-read pile if you liked The Expanse, I think.
Oh yeah, and so far I think my favorite book of 2023 has been Cory Doctorow’s Red Team Blues. It’s a super fast read and a lot of fun if you’re at all into computer security. Very unlikely hero too—a retirement age forensic accountant living out of a rock star bus, traveling the US in search of good wine and good food, haha.
@heavyboots I just finished termination shock! Pretty fun read. Thanks for the recos! These sound amazing.
