I’m slowly getting through This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman. There’s some really interesting worldbuilding going on around neurodivergence and how social customs can facilitate understanding and mutual respect, but I’m a little turned off by the capitalistic, predatory, cyberpunk space opera setting, hence the slowness.
Catching up on the latest Peter F. Hamilton, on the second novel Salvation Lost - it’s good even if you’ve read his other works (been able to keep me guessing) and I like his take on the possible future even if thats not the focus.
