    I really like the Bobiverse but the constant nerdy references in those books almost as grating as in Ready Player One.

    It more than makes up for it with likable characters and great ideas.

    While we’re trading reading suggestions, books by Adrian Tchaikofsky are also really good.

    “Children of Time” and its sequels for a more hard sci-fi read and the “Final Architecture” trilogy for more of an epic sci-fi action romp. The latter reminded me a lot of “The Expanse” but with many weird alien species (one is colony of roaches in a suit, another a giant crab mostly communicating in picturals, yet another a crystal the size of a moon).
