I recently read "Blindsight" by Peter Watts which was about how first contact could work with an entirely alien species. It goes deep into both the physical and social sciences involved, and was a fun journey as well.
Nice to see r/printSF is alive and well on Lemmy. 😄
While Blindsight is an amazing book, I'm not sure it's got much in the way of competence porn. Some fantastic psychological science speculation for sure, though.
If Captain Picard can read physical books in his ready room in the 24th century, I can quite well read them in the 21st, thank you very much!
(I don't actually begrudge people who prefer reading on Kindles, but I like the feel of real books)
