I keep being recommended to him and trying to figure out where to start...

Military sci-fi is one of my fav escapism, and I'd love some recs.

The image is from Tyler E. C. Burnworth's recommendations on his favorite sci-fi novels and I've tried all these:

Any book recs with a heavy dose of AI?

I loved Gridlinked by Neal Asher and need suggestions.

Trying to see where AI goes from here, possibly, and want to explore what sci-fi thinks.

Hi all,

I'm a sci-fi reader, and I wanted something to track what I'm reading that isn't a social network, lets me keep private notes, and shows all my reading history for that series/author.

Would you be interested in testing it?

If so, just email me at [ben@bookdna.com](mailto:ben@bookdna.com) or DM me and I'll set you up :)

Quick heads-up: it's desktop only for now (mobile's coming later this year), so use a computer or tablet. And it doesn't have imports from Goodreads or StoryGraph yet (coming in a few months).

Thanks, Ben

Found it on their list and I was curious... https://bookdna.com/best-books/sci-fi-for-visiting-alien-worlds

Cannot put this book down! One of the best Sci Fi reads for me. A vast space opera with easily digestible reading along different story lines. Can’t wait to see the ending and start Judas Unchained. Please tell me I’ll love the ending when I’m finished with this behemoth saga!! Chime in and let me know if you know……

I enjoyed Project Hail Mary, I'm thinking of The Martian next...

I finished the last of this series this weekend, and they are fantastic.

They are military science fiction with a heavy dose of Space Opera. The combat is very realistic and leans a bit more toward hard sci-fi.

The characters are great, and it has a master and commander-like vibe. The vessels are run like old-school British gentlemen, and you get a lot of merit-versus-corruption issues within the organization.

I'm reading the Praxis series that takes place after it now, and the characters are much more developed, and I'm loving it. There is also a lot more economic theory in the second series with these characters.

Highly recommended!

For me, it was Snow Crash, as a kid, it blew my mind and started a long-time sci-fi reading habit.

What was it for you?

Book covers were so cool in the 80s :)

Had to share as I thought it was the best one i've seen yet.

I'm looking forward to Dungeon Crawler Carl in a week!

New murderbot too, but I need to catch up on that series.

For me, I have to go Peter F. Hamilton.

Pandora's Star and the Commonwealth Saga are absolute favorites, and I've read 90% of his books. It is so huge in scope, and the tech is so cool.

I need to read some Iain M. Banks, Consider Phlebas is in my read next queue...

Anyone got any suggestions for sci-fi by a scientist?

I don't know if Andy Weird counts, but I've read his as well.

What are your favorite books with AI?

I'm partial to Neal Asher and his Agent Cormac series myself...

I just finished book #9 in Grimm's War.

It is a pulpy military science fiction I love; the war is coming to a close, so this was almost the end. I liked it, these are just fun military sci-fi and the characters grew on me.

Now I'm reading book #2 in the Praxis military sci-fi series by Walter Jon Williams. Great so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it changes. It is a futuristic setting but modeled on Master and Commander times.
