Non-US sci-fi recommendations? (lemmy.ml)

Hi all! I just finished "The Three Body Problem" by Liu Cixin and enjoyed it a lot. It's got me curious about sci-fi written elsewhere in the world and what cultural differences may appear in sci-fi written from a non-US perspective.

Does anyone have recommendations for what I should check out next? I only speak English and (sort of) French so I'm reliant on translations to one of those languages. Thanks!

The Best of World SF is undeniably an excellent sampler of voices from around the world, both of authors and of translators.

The editor comes off as maybe a bit self-centred? But I can't deny they have excellent taste and connections.
