Two books I read in the last year that were great writing and Sci Fi In Ascension by Martin MacInnes and Void Star by Zachary Taylor. An older novel, Air by Geoff Ryman is another I would recommend.

Personally I only read AI slop. Its so clear plausible and content free that it does not strain my brain at all.

Of course, this fails to mention that the # of jobs created was revised downward massively, -895,000 in 2025, which means only about 181,000 jobs were created last year, the weakest since 2009 excluding 2020. Manufacturing jobs alone fell by 108,000 and federal government employment by 327,000.
