Hard scifi by Greg Egan is a trip and you’ll never be the same afterwards. Permutation City and Diaspora are my favorites.

For more modern take, Children of Time is beautifully narrated and I could listen to it all day for years and never get tired of the narrator.

For a universe that keeps on going with problem solving Vorkosigan Saga is very feel good and I think in line with a book like the Martian albeit a bit less hard though solid on its approach to deduction and wit.

Me ready to be like “Aw what a cute little guy.” Straight to “Holy fucking nightmare fuel.”

Children of time needs more hype. Probably the best science fiction to come out in recent times.

We’re going on an adventure!

I didn’t think the second book could be on par with the first but it was also fantastic.

Thanks for such an in depth answer. Is there a good place to buy seeds for newer strains like this?

When the choice is a man thinking of you as property to control or a vibrator/custom sized dildo, idk why you think it’s even a contest.

The main disconnect is they contracted “is it” into “it’s” when “it’s” is normal a posessive like that is mine, e.g. it’s mine. Aka “the fuck is it going to do” or “the fuck’s it going to do” would have been correct. At least I think so as a native speaker but someone with more knowledge on grammar might have more insight.
