Haruki Murakami. I've liked everything he's written up to 1Q84. I'm sure his newer stuff is good too I just haven't caught up to them yet lol
If you want something more like hard sci-fi/cyberpunk, I recommend the Otherland series by Tad Williams. It's seriously probably the best modern sci-fi I've ever read
Have you read the expanse and if so, is it better than the expanse?
I have not read The Expanse yet, but it looks like a good series!
Its absolutely incredible IMO. Was hoping you had to compare it. Guess I'll just have for ead other land and decide for myself. What a shame lol.
I have read the first book of the Expanse. I liked it but didn't find any connection to Murakami, perhaps in later novels?
I have no idea what you've just said
I have read the first book of The Expanse, known as Leviathan Wakes. While reading it, I did not discover any connections to Haruki Murakami insofar as the writing nor the way he works a metaphor. I liked reading Murakami a lot; The Expanse not as much. But perhaps in later novels of The Expanse I shall?
