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

Yeah if you're interested in software engineering in sci-fi, Vinge is basically a must read. It's fairly rare to see it done well, and he's by far the most prominent example of it.

Shall I read "Deepness in the sky" as a first port of call?

That's my favourite of his, so I'd say yes. :-) "A fire upon the deep" was written first and deepness is technically a prequel, but deepness then fire is the reading order I did. "The Peace War" is also worth reading though.

Great advice. I'm going to heed this. Very excited!

Enjoy!
