I don’t know much about science fiction, so here’s what chat gpt 3.5 said in reply to your question!
“Given your interest in "The Three-Body Problem," "A Memory Called Empire," "Dune," "Children of Time," and "Hyperion," you might enjoy the following recommendations:
Foundation by Isaac Asimov: If you enjoyed epic science fiction with intricate world-building, Foundation offers a vast, galaxy-spanning narrative.
Neuromancer by William Gibson: For a cyberpunk twist with complex plots and futuristic themes, Neuromancer is a classic choice.
Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan: This novel combines cyberpunk and space opera elements, exploring themes of identity and consciousness in a future where minds can be digitized.
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin: Le Guin's Hainish Cycle, particularly this novel, offers thoughtful exploration of sociology and politics within a richly imagined science fiction setting.
Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton: The Commonwealth Saga, starting with Pandora's Star, is a space opera series known for its expansive universe, diverse characters, and intricate plot.
These recommendations share some thematic elements with the books you mentioned and might offer you a captivating next read.
for something spacey - Ender's Game. if you ever wished "wow Ender's Game was great, I wish I could completely forget it so I could read it for the first time again!" then you'll want to read Ender's Shadow. (admittedly it's light on the politics but does vaguely touch on it)
for something not requested - The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. I agree with the goodreads average of 4/5 stars. it's got a really interesting premise though so I'd recommend looking into it!
for something the exact opposite of what was requested - How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler. another nonfiction book that might end up on your "not interested" list. I'm listening to this one as narrated by the author and it's a good "listen while doing something else" book. so if you're having trouble sleeping, this might be good to put on (then start a stopwatch so you don't lose track of time) and challenge yourself to make quick doodles of whatever he's talking about.
Thank you kindly for these recommendations. These all looks great! "How to Invent Everything" totally aligns with random thoughts I have on the daily like "How does this toaster work", etc. I'll be looking into these 😁
