@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).

    I agree with all the recommendations so far (Banks, Tchaikovsky, etc.) but would like to add Hannu Rajaniemi, namely the trilogy beginning with “The Quantum Thief”, which blew my mind.

      I’m pretty used to jumping right into new, strange worlds so I rarely get lost, but The Quantum Thief was extraordinarily complex, in a good way. And you could trace ideas in it back to tech in use now. Highly rec the book.
