Loved The Martian and Project Hail Mary. What should be next?

This is my first real dive into hard sci-fi. I recently read Project Hail Mary and absolutely loved it—so much so that I immediately jumped into The Martian.

Now I’m wondering: should I go on to Artemis, or try something else?

What I loved about Project Hail Mary and The Martian were the (seemingly) realistic science, the relatable narrators, the overall goofiness of both main characters, and the casual, accessible tone of the writing. It all felt like something that could actually happen, which made it even more fun to read.

I usually lean toward non-fiction, but I’m open to other genres—especially if the story feels grounded in reality.
