I've been meaning to read the Metro books! Loved the games but never got around to reading the source material. Thanks for the reminder!

Unfortunate about Lukyanenko's comments nowadays but I might still check out the books because they sound interesting! Maybe I'll avoid buying copies of those though. Thanks for the rec!

Thanks for the non-english recommendations! Jules Verne was mentioned elsewhere in the thread so I'll have to check out his work. Great opportunity to brush up on reading French too :D

Perfect! Trying to get back into some more philosophical books since I've finished school. I'll have to check this out too.

Thanks! What don't you like about Risto Isomäki? This is the first I've heard of them.

Lots of people recommending Stanislaw Lem. I'll add him to the list. Thanks for the rec!

Ordered the next book. I'll check out Banks as well. Thanks!

This looks very cool! I've heard of S.T.A.L.K.E.R but never realized there was a book. Thanks for the recommendation :D

Hi all! I just finished "The Three Body Problem" by Liu Cixin and enjoyed it a lot. It's got me curious about sci-fi written elsewhere in the world and what cultural differences may appear in sci-fi written from a non-US perspective.

Does anyone have recommendations for what I should check out next? I only speak English and (sort of) French so I'm reliant on translations to one of those languages. Thanks!

Yeah that's a good distinction to make. So far the pacing has felt decent so I'm sure they won't dwell too long. I'm very excited to see where they end the season.

desperately want them to cut this arc and get to volume 15/16 already
