You know when you like vol 1 of a science fiction series but not enough to read more? Happened to me with Hyperion, 3 Body Problem.
I’m getting same sense with Postmodern Earth series. I liked volume 1, 1990-2015, but not enough to want to red vol 2 😐

People say the same about Dune. But the entire Hyperion and Dune series are rewarding reads. Fall of Hyperion just as good as book 1, fwiw.

seriously, Dark Forest is a whole different league. 3 Body Problem is all just set up for it.

Haha same for Hyperion & 3 Body Problem. Have you read the Broken Earth Trilogy? Just beautifully written and different to almost all scifi/fantasy I know. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fifth

Too Like the Lightning - post nation state civilization based on what I suspect is a US liberal arts college understanding of the French enlightenment. A hugely compelling concept but once comprehended not sure where it goes.

Oh man, 3 Body Problem is the worst of the series! (And the last one is my favorite Sci-Fi book in ages)
