For me in SciFi I’ve been trying to hit some classics so I’ve read ‘The Iron Dream’ by Norman Spinrad, ‘A Time of Changes’ by Robert Silverberg and also the (recent release) ‘Out of the Ruins’ anthology.

Of those three I enjoyed ‘The Iron Dream’ the most since I didn’t enjoy Silverberg’s potraryal of women (and it doesn’t seem to have literary intent like in ‘The Iron Dream’.) 'Out of the Ruins had some bangers but it was a fairly inconsistent collection for me that mostly hasn’t been memorable.

So, what are you currently reading or have recently read?

    I haven’t read any of the books you mentioned in your post so I am not sure if these are up your alley or not, but the last 3 sci-fi books I’ve read have all knocked it out of the park for me:

    1. Seveneves - Neal Stephenson
    2. Spin - Robert Charles Wilson
    3. Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

    You can tell I am a sucker for all books dealing with the impossible vastness of space 🤣
