Anybody got some recommendations for hard sci-fi? Maybe something with software engineering would be cool? Super in the mood for some escapism.

Ooh, you're in for a treat then! Some good stuff published in the last few years. Hugo Award winners/nominees list has a nice diverse range of (mostly) good reads. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Award_for_Best_Novel …

Any one(s) stand out?

So hard, I'm crap at choosing favourites! I really liked Anne Leckie's Ancillary Justice plus sequels, Neal Stephenson's Seveneves and Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet/A Closed and Common Orbit.

On my imaginary but real list now!

FWIW seveneves is not escapist reading. but if you haven't read Stevenson yet (or recently), you are definitely in for a treat :)

You mean because it's too upsetting?
-
Yeah. I love his stuff in general, but did not enjoy that one; too hard to read.
-
Maybe Stephenson's "Anathem"? Opinions are mixed on it, but .. I liked it a lot.
