Hello.

I’m reading the second book in the Backyard Starship series. I find the books entertaining, but in my opinion, they lack depth.

I’m looking for some better sci-fi literature, so feel free to give me some recommendations.

Edit: Thank you all for the recommendations. I’ve added them to my reading list and I’m looking forward to reading them!

    The last really great sci-fi books I read were the Otherland series by Tad Williams. It’s about a virtual reality world and how it’s used by the the the rich elite to find immortality, but also by others to find a kind of enlightenment. There are a lot of great characters who all have depth and substance, the story does a great job comparing virtual reality with religion, and it even predicted Netflix way back in 1996 lol (they just spell it differently)

    It’s 4 pretty dense books, but once I got started I couldn’t put them down
