I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

I really enjoy the books by Peter F Hamilton, my favourites being Pandora's Star and it's sequel Judas Unchained.

The worlds he creates are just so detailed and interesting to read about, and of course the story is very compelling

My favorite books! Have you read A Fire Upon The Deep and A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge? Those are great as well!

I've not heard of them but I'll have to add them to my list

The Children of the Sky is also a worthy read, if a little depressing. I read it post-pandemic, and the attitudes of some of the characters hit a little close to home.
