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:

    The Mars Trilogy is the one everyone talks about, and its fun, but for me it was very up and down. The Three Body Problem (and that whole trilogy ) is really good. The second book, The Dark Forrest, was the best SciFi I've read in a while.

    Not sure how hard the science can be considered, but The Culture Series is fun stuff. The "tech" is much more hopeful than realistic, but such fun world building.
