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!

I'll suggest The Doomed City by the Strutgatsky brothers. I found it much more satisfying than Roadside Picnic. It's much longer and much more philosophical. My username is from one of the characters in the book!

Perfect! Trying to get back into some more philosophical books since I've finished school. I'll have to check this out too.
