Will check this out too, thanksSon of the Revolution is the book that started my interest in Chinese culture especially under Mao. If you're reading more of a history but want more the feeling of living in the society I highly recommend this biography

Never Let Me Go is a reddit darling for sure. It suffers from being over hyped.

It’s a Reddit darling. It comes up every time I look for something similar to Project Hail Mary and Murderbot Diaries. The cover art reminds me of early PC first person shooters. I’m worried it might be a bit too silly for my tastes.

Hey @Gaucho do you know why the German versions of The Expanse books omit the S.A. from the author(s)' names?
I'm assuming it's a reference to the Sturmabteilung, but could it be something else?

It's exactly for that reason, yes.

Apparently there is a sequel out to Kings of the Wyld, need to check that out. Cannot recommend the original enough, one of the most enjoyable fantasy/adventure books I've read in years.
