Hope you enjoy KSR - I love his messy, complicated optimism, which he lays out nicely here: https://www.polygon.com/2020/10/20/21525509/kim-stanley-robinson-interview-science-fiction-utopias … The Red/Green/Blue Mars books in particular are astounding for their ideas and (literal) world(re)building. I'm about to take my fourth lap of them.
Currently taking a half-time break from Iain M. Banks and taking a second run at Charlie Stross Neptune’s Brood, which I quit the first time around, and sampling Kim Stanley Robinson for the first time via a short story collection.

@cstross space econ are pretty fast-paced. KSR is mostly a commitment, though ‘the years of rice and salt’ is super-readable.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

If you have any recommendations for short story collections, I'd like to hear them. (I have one: "Blood Child" by Octavia Butler.)
