No, I haven't read those books.
My favorite authors are Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein, choosing the more classic ones. Among the more modern ones, I love Dan Simmons, Cixin Liu, and recently Adrian Tchaikovsky.

That's interesting, just looked them up and I haven't read a single book by those authors. Even Asimov, whom I thought for sure I had read one of his.
Maybe Project Hail Mary is the only place we have overlap 😆
Do you have a favorite from those authors that you recommend starting with?
I suppose you've read Ender's Game?
Here is a link to the first Bobiverse book, I highly recommend checking it out if you get a chance!

I have started on we are legion.....starting a bit weird to my liking, but let me finish it and I will get back to you
I'm interested to hear what you think after it gets going. It may not be to your liking but I find it interesting once he gets out into space.
What I like is he introduces a lot of Science and real-world things I've never heard of such as the Dyson Sphere and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault which I had absolutely no idea something like that even existed.
Funny that you mention Dyson Sphere :)

I have written so much at hive!
Small world! Building one in the next 30 years sounds improbable, but it would be interesting to see the world attempt it. Perhaps it could be a way for China and the US to work together (unlikely 😢).
I am going take a leap of faith and say, not in my lifetime.
got to read 3 body problem!

Cixin Liu is the best 'out of the box' thinker of our time!
Audiobook is very well done.
Thanks! Just bought it on Audible, will be my next read (listen).
I can only enthusiastically confirm
The Three-Body Problem - The Dark Forest - Death's End series is incredible.
Today, many talk about the Dark Forest theory regarding extraterrestrial life, but it was Cixin Liu who invented it.
Really? Asimov and Clarke are the pillars of sci-fi!
One book for every author:
Asimov: Foundation (all books of the series)
Clarke: Rama (the firts book is a masterpiece and a movie with Villeneuve director is scheduled for next years)
Heinlein: Starship Troopers (yes, the movie is from this book)
Simmons: Hyperion books
Cixin Liu: Three Body Problem
Tchaikovsky: Childern of Time serie
Thanks for the suggestions! I grabbed Three Body Problem yesterday and will start that soon. I'll take a look at the others and get them on my list.
