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:
Blindsight and Echopraxia are both just phenomenal. Incredible worldbuilding and also the hardest of "hard" sci-fi (along with some awesome concepts from philosophy as well). I think the series is supposed to get a third part eventually, but I haven't heard anything about it for quite a while now. I'm teaching a low-key "fun" elective course on speculative fiction next year, and I think these two are the first books we're going to cover.
third part's called omniscience, he's posted snippets on his blog before
