For non-fiction, Graeber and Wengrow's The Dawn of Everything (which I'm still working through the references of as well, many of which are also good). For fiction, my sample size this year is sadly small but probably Becky Chambers's The Galaxy, and the Ground Within, the final(?) book in the Wayfarers (The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet) series. A great end to the series, and given that it must have been plotted originally pre-2020 oddly contemporary.

The Wayfarers books The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and A Closed and Common Orbit were quite good. Fantastic world building and characters, although the plots seem to meander about with not too much purpose. https://www.goodreads.com/series/170872-wayfarers Recently ploughed through The Expanse series. https://www.goodreads.com/series/56399-the-expanse Dark Matter was a good read if you like parallel universes. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27833670-dark-matter The Rho Agenda series was a surprisingly good read. https://www.goodreads.com/series/61746-the-rho-agenda Quantum Night was something a bit different from Robert Sawyer. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25734179-quantum-night And Barsk: The Elephants’ Graveyard would probably have to be rated my favourite for the year. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25667916-barsk
