Got back into reading fiction again and I love it. Just finished The Martian, and while it was enjoyable there's some lib shit in there that annoyed the fuck out of me. I mainly enjoyed it because I'm a physicist, so I could understand all of the (mostly correct) science and how decisions were being made, and why some of them were so cool. If anyone has any recommendations for more hard Sci-fi (or from any other genres) I might enjoy, either without or with absolutely minimal lib shit, I'd be v v v grateful.
Thanks chapos! :ancom-heart:
I consider KSR hard SF. I like him a great deal but I find his books impossible to finish. Interesting stories and characters and great writing always wind up taking a back seat to interesting ideas. I think he should separate the interesting ideas into nonfiction and try to limit the time he spends with them in his fiction...
He’s good for audiobooks where the writing isn’t so distracting
