Hi all! I just finished “The Three Body Problem” by Liu Cixin and enjoyed it a lot. It’s got me curious about sci-fi written elsewhere in the world and what cultural differences may appear in sci-fi written from a non-US perspective.

Does anyone have recommendations for what I should check out next? I only speak English and (sort of) French so I’m reliant on translations to one of those languages. Thanks!

    I’ll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it’s often hard to find good books in other languages. I’d also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:

      Thanks for the non-english recommendations! Jules Verne was mentioned elsewhere in the thread so I’ll have to check out his work. Great opportunity to brush up on reading French too :D
