    A lot of science fiction should instead be called science fantasy.

      Which is why I hate the majority of scifi as they aren’t self aware.

      Self aware science fantasy can be excellent.

      Hard science fiction can also be excellent for different reasons.

          Sadly I’ve never gotten around to reading Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy however what I have heard is good.

          I’m a big fan of the satire in 40k which has novels spanning several genres, so there’s almost always a fresh type of novel to dig into, even if they are the equivalent of cheap romance novels but for nerds

            I highly suggest you give hitchhiker’s guide the time. Not sure if you’ve read any Terry Pratchett, but IMO Douglas Adams is on another level (and Pratchett is pretty good himself). I ended up reading all his books in like two sittings once I started.
