For a science fiction experience that’s as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally engaging, ‘Eternal Gods Die Too Soon’ is the book for you. It navigates the realms of advanced physics and the mysteries of the universe in a narrative that’s both captivating and enlightening.

* Books by Peter Watts. He is most famous for Blindsight, which is available as a free ebook on his website, but the sequel Echopraxia is not. The Rifters trilogy, which is mindbending and fucked up in a different way, is also available free there.
* Books by Stanislaw Lem. Peter Watts jokes he has a one-sided rivalry with this long-dead author, because Watts will often have a great story idea, and then find that Lem already wrote a book with that same idea decades and decades ago. My favourite is The Invincible, soon to be made into a video game.
* Nightflyers and Other Stories by George R. R. Martin. I’ve never read his much more famous fantasy novels, and these are mostly sci fi with some horror elements.
* Short fiction by James Tiptree Jr., pen name of Alice Sheldon, a classic sci fi author. I recommend her collection Her Smoke Rose Up Forever, which has a bunch of her longer novellas.
* Leech by Hiron Ennes. This is my favourite book I read last year.

*Hyperion* – Dan Simmons
About a group of strangers going on a pilgrimage to a planet where a nightmare creature made out of blades supposedly grants wishes. Book goes in hard right from the first story, and doesn’t let go. The sequel is also good.
*Midnight At The Well Of Souls* – Jack L. Chalker
A sci-fi “isekai” where people turn into random biological lifeforms living on a giant planetary hex grid. It’s wild and weird, will definitely make you go wtf multiple times.

Circadian Algorithms – kind of Inception-esque
