Hi all! I just finished "The Three Body Problem" by Liu Cixin and enjoyed it a lot. It's got me curious about sci-fi written elsewhere in the world and what cultural differences may appear in sci-fi written from a non-US perspective.

Does anyone have recommendations for what I should check out next? I only speak English and (sort of) French so I'm reliant on translations to one of those languages. Thanks!

Tarkovsky movies, either Stalker or Solaris. Both are incredibly slow but very solid. Admittedly, I watched them both during pandemic so the length bothered me less than it might of.
