If you like Hard Sci-Fi I can't recommend Children of Time (and the two sequels) by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Incredibly inventive and well written.
I found those a little depressing. Like everything is kinda awful. I enjoyed his The Final Architecture series more.
I can see that from the perspective of humanity, but for the children of earth it’s pretty hopeful and a great story (less so in the 3rd book though I suppose). Even really for humanity at the end of the day. They have the opportunity to live on through progeny. I am also very interested to see where the story goes from here. I think that if he ever reveals the actual events that took place on earth it’s going to be a wild ride.
I’ll check out that Final Architecture series though.
I guess my problem is that it is a bit too real.. humanity destroying itself with poor decisions and zealotry feels too much like life right now.
Ain't that the truth.
