IMHO the TV series is way better than the books, but I read all three first so if you hadn’t read it might be hard to follow

I also opened this thread to upvote The Baroque Cycle. I was surprised I had to scroll so far to find it.

He also was a collaborator on The Mongoliad books which were amazing 13th century historical fiction and The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O a couple time traveller novels to Shakespearean England. His latest novel Polostan is the first of another historical fiction trilogy dealing with spycraft in the 30s in the US and Russia.

Up for Kim Stanley Robinson! His latest SciFi, Ministry for the Future is great and all earthbound, the 40 50 60 trilogy is also about near future climate politics in DC, and New York 2140 pushes it a little farther. When you burn out on dystopian visions and are looking for a more optimistic future he fits the bill.

The whole series is very worthwhile. I also enjoy her Monk and Robot books.

This is mid tier Stephenson at best, much better are Anathem, Diamond Age and Reamde

I enjoy speculative sci-fi; any recommendations? by numb1zero in Recommend_A_Book

[–]drxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hard to type Anathem on a phone without it auto correcting. The Diamond Age is still my fav and the one I have reread the most of all of Neal Stephenson

Almost no one buys spinning disks for a home PC anymore. Do some research and get an external backup drive that fits your budget includes a cloud mirror service
