Scifi that starts normal then goes cosmic (lemmy.ml)

I really enjoy sci-fi that starts grounded in reality — that eases you in with a slow build, a sense of normalcy, before the shift. I love when the story begins in the everyday, then opens into something strange and vast. Think the beginning of The Matrix or Old Man’s War, perhaps? That kind of vibe. Any recommendations?

Project Hail Mary fits the bill. Though it's popular enough you've likely already read it.
