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!

Andreas Eschbach is quite unknown outside of the German speaking world, but I can recommend e. g. his The Carpet Makers. It's more of a soft sci-fi, dealing with a society on one quite strange world.
