Haven't read in a while and need something fun and easy? This book (and the two that follow it) are just about as easy and fun as reading sci fi can be. The concept is when you turn 75 you can choose to join the interstellar Colonial Defense Force and leave earth. How? Well there's a bunch of crazy shit that goes on. Fun action, fun politics, fun universe. I also usually cry at least once. Despite the name, plenty of women characters. Very much a product of the 00s.

Itβs an epistolary love story, and very good sci fi. More literary than hard science.

Sci-Fi book I picked up on a whim at the library nearly 2 years ago that I still think about at least weekly! A blurb on the back said it was "the best of what science fiction should be" and I was like "wow, that's bold" but it was true! It's on par with This Is How You Lose The Time War, but longer and more traditionally narrated (but still interesting!)

Chinese production of the sci-fi novel - Season 1, 30 episodes streaming on Amazon and Peacock. The series is based on the masterpiece novel, book 1 in the trilogy "The Three-Body Problem" by Cixin Liu. The pacing is slow, with scenes and plot elements repeating, to a degree that may frustrate viewers. Fans of the novels like myself will hang on, looking forward to the plot reveals and intellectual puzzles. I'm planning to watch the Netflix series due to drop in a few weeks, a separate US/UK English language version. I'm guessing the Netflix version will have a much quicker pace and better fx.
