I have several :-) - Recursion by Blake Crouch - Sea of Tranquility by Emily St John Mandel Both involve time travel like aspects, which I love! Also: - Thursday Murder Club series for its funny dialogs, great characters and twisty detective plots.

Agreed! And if you like time travel f*ckery as well, I can also recommend Recursion from the same author.

I have not read anything from Bradbury, will check it out! If you like short sci-fi stories, I can recommend Ted Chiang and Greg Bear.

My 13 year old son loves the movies but the books would probably be a bit too heavy, so this would be a great alternative. Thanks for the recommendation!

No problem! If you as a fellow geek have any recommendations for other hard sci-fi books, I would love to hear it :-)

I struggled a bit with book 1 (it took a while for me to really get into the story and setup), but with book 2 I was hooked! But be aware that it is really truly 100% hard sci-fi, there are some wild concepts in there! If you love that stuff the books come fully recommended!

Great read! although saying it is “hard sci-fi” would be an understatement ;-) Books 2 and 3 will blow your mind with some of the wildest concepts you have ever read
