[A repost from printSF sub- please suggest me more!]
Recently I finished Ted Chiang's "Hell is the Absence of God" and it sparked my interest in reading again (I haven't read properly in years). I usually only consume similar themed media from movie/games, but now I really wanna venture into books. I am not sure if this could help, but here's a list of some things I like:
- Ted Chiang: Hell is the Absence of God, Story of Your Life, The Great Silence (I haven't finished the others, but these three left such a good impression)
- Arthur C. Clarke: Nine Billion Names of God
- Isaac Asimov: The Last Question, The Last Answer
- Movies: Annihilation, Arrival, Close Encounter of the Third Kind, Contact, Interstellar, Sunshine, The Endless
- Videogame: No Man's Sky (the lore of the game, about Atlas)
What I am not looking for:
– Space opera/space wars
– Political allegories
– Dystopia "we rebel against the authority" stuff
Thank you so much.. 🙇♀️

Man you love scifi, so I really want to recommend The Three Body Problem, but there’s lots of space stuff in it?
I still think you should give it a shot. 🤷 It does take place mostly on earth. At least the first book.
