Anything Neal Stephenson. I've read them all. Multiple times. But some other stuff that people haven't yet mentioned that I enjoyed: - Matt Haig: The Humans, How to Stop Time - Richard Morgan: Altered Carbon trilogy - Ramez Naam: Nexus Trilogy - Hugh Howie: Silo series - Ann Leckie: Ancillary Justice - Ernest Cline: Ready Player 1

- Harry Potter and methods of rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky Great intro to rationality, so fun to see a different take on a world you likely already know. - Kindred by Octavia Butler Such an interesting perspective on the psychology of what it takes to break a human being. In the worst way possible. - The Humans by Matt Haig Being outside of the human race, the language is so jarring and alien.
