woah, this is amazing. Seriously considering spending $120 on a book now

Lots of good suggestions in here. Id like to echo :

• Anything Alastair Reynolds (particularly Revelation Space)
• Hyperion Cantos
• Ender/Enders Shadow series
• Children of Time/Memory/Ruin
• Bobiverse
• The Expanse

Also adding:

• Aurora by KSR
• Project Hail Mary
