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'm also a huge Watts fan. Blindsight is his magnum opus, but if OP wants a taste his novelette The Island is excellent. He also wrote some great shot stories, but the only one which name I remember is Mayfly.

      fist bump.

      after much introspection, i've decided that i prefer echopraxia over blindsight. it's just blindsight introduces all the big batshit ideas that makes watts so fun to read for me.
