I’ve burned through like every audio drama I can think of. Trying Audible. I like cyberpunk and sci-fi like Neal Stephenson. Super dark and gritty fantasy like the Netflix show Castlevania or the audio drama Aethuran: Dark Saga.
I’m open to any recommendations. Thank you.
You like Stephenson? What about William Gibson? Seems like you woud have already read most of it, but just in case…
Most Cyberpunk, classic even, his first: The Sprawl Trilogy
Great move from the farther future, hard cyberpunk to day-after-tomorrow (maybe my favourite): The Bridge Trilogy
Even more to the today/tomorrow feel, but maybe a steep hill to climb without following his previous “evolution” : Blue Ant Trilogy
Connie Willis’s Oxford Time Travel books!! Lighter in tone than what you are referring to, but often compelling. There is an order to the stories, but it’s not vital, really. With Three free books I would suggest “To Say Nothing About the Dog”, then “Blackout” and it’s continuation “All Clear”.
“Lovecraft Country” and “Destroyer of Worlds” are a pair that focus on a black family’s experience of late 50s/early 60s (can’t remember) Sorcery in the U.S.
Stand alones? Have you read “Project Hail Mary”? Great bit of non-sequential storytelling as the narrator regains his memory and figures out where he is and why. Avoid spoilers, even synopses for this one for maximum effect. A.G. Riddle’s “Lost in Time” was a balance of whodoneit and time travel that I found enjoyable.
