I really liked the TV series of expanse. Have you seen it? How does it compare to the books?
Also, if you're into fantasy at all I recommend The Demon Cycle series by Peter V Brett. I'm listening to the graphic audio version and it's spectacular!

So, I started the show before the books and thought it was just okay. But the books have sucked me all the way in, and I just started rewatching the show from the beginning and it's sooo good after reading the books. In hindsight the knowledge you have from having read them really helps you follow the get into the show. And there's enough different they still keep you guessing a bit. It's really really good.
If you want to read more Cixin Liu I think Ball Lightning was pretty good as well, it's standalone but almost a prequel to Three Body Problem.
If you like the lighthearted and humorous sci-fi of bobiverse I highly recommend the Magic 2.0 series.
What about the Murderbot Series? I gues u already red The Martian, Ready Player One etc.? Maybe Children of time?
I did the first children of time book, but I never really loved it so didn't start book 2. I have it on hand maybe at some point I'd give it a try. Did you like book 2?
- Old man's war, Scalzi
- Expeditionary force, Alanson
- Dungeon Crawler Carl, Dinniman
- Space Team, Hutchison
- The Martian, Weir
These are the usual recommendations I think.
How did you find the three body problem? I only listened to the first chapter I think, couldn't get into it.
Slow burn and got really into it. Then I read dark forest, the second book, and it's one of my favorites. Fantastic book.
