On SF, you might like Arthur C Clarke’s short stories. His novels are quite great, but his short stories are where the gems are. Best example is “The Star”, which the full text is easily found online. This kind of goosebump-raising stories.
The guy that wrote The Martian had a new-ish book called Project Hail Mary. That is stupendously good. It’s a bit movie like in the pacing, humour and concepts (perfect for an adaptation), but the plot is fantastic, level of detail is well balanced, twist is AMAZING, character development is quite good. His other one about the moon not as good though.
Oh thanks for the recs!
