I'm looking for more books like "solaris" or "all tomorrow's"where the aliens aren't just humans with scales or just have red skin by hoialtacc Related: Like Poisoner’s Handbook? Audiobooks while working? Love Story I’d like to be siggested a weird little book that no-one has ever heard of, but you thought had some unusual insights and some really interesting things to say, if not life-changing ones. Audiobooks for new listeners

Imperator_Helvetica on December 9, 2024 11:34 am *Semiosis* by Sue Burke. *Children of Time* by Adrian Tchaikovsky *Story of Your Life* by Ted Chiang. Was made into the film Arrival. Some of the aliens in Iain M Banks’s Culture novels are properly alien – *Excession, Use of Weapons* – though *Player of Games* is my preferred place to start. Greg Stolze’s *God Cancer.* He also has some great free fiction – [TRANSMIT ](https://gregstolze.com/downloads/transmit/)hopefully would appeal to you
