A few
- addl votes for Ursula K LeGuin, the whole hainish cycle is great, she’s the 🐐 - Iain M Banks - Culture series - NK Jamison - Broken Earth trilogy - Robert Heinlein - Stranger in a strange land - Greg Egan’s books are really “hard sci fi” but still very enjoyable to read - the Expanse series is fun
