Recommend me some good hard sci-fi. Not in the background either, I want it to be full of long rambling explanations about how exactly things work. I'm a fan of Peter Watts, Greg Egan, and Charles Stross. If you're familiar with that last author, think along those lines except with more nuanced (better) characters. I've read The Expanse, so don't bother with that one.

I've read it, along with Artemis and Project Hail Mary. That's a good suggestion though.

Probably Project Hail Mary, although I don't think there's a wrong choice.

It's pretty good so far, and was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
