Ask HN: What sci fi books are you reading now?

I am currently halfway through "Blindsight" by Peter Watts. It's a tough read but easily the most thought provoking take on consciousness and first contact i have encountered in years.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality ("HPMOR")

Old Man's War (and sequels) by John Scalzi

I remember that initially I had a world of trouble with Conrad's Heart of Darkness but I hit it again and was amply rewarded

The latest dungeon crawler Carl book comes out on Tuesday. That’s a fun series.

There is no Antiemetics Division by qntm

I can recommend A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. Heartily recommend in fact.

Redshirts by John Scalzi

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

The Unincorporated Man (and three sequels)

I can recomend the Solar Clipper series by Nathan Lowell.
