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 surprised now one has suggested Greg Egan, the King of hard science fiction. His novel Diaspora is one my favorites. It's about those genderless incorporeal AI-people living in a big-ass computer in the far future.

    You might want to start with his short stories to see if this kind of ultra-hard stuff is right up your alley. Look into Crystal Nights, Learning to be me, Transition Dreams.
