MODERATORS
I took a bit of a time off from reading so when I started again this is what I gleaned as recommendations from the other printsf:
Three body problem - Liu Cixin Bobiverse - Dennis Taylor Daemon - Daniel Suarez Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky Pushing Ice - Alastair Reynolds
Honorable mention: Blindsight - Peter Watts
If I were to go with a mix of old and new: Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson I, Robot - Issac Asimov Dune - Frank Herbert
Mix of old and new, short and far future.
If you're going to include a Michael Crichton book in a sci-fi list, Sphere is a far better choice IMO.
Sphere is a wonderful choice. I read it as a teenager and it was one of my first non-StarTrek sci fi novels. Picked it up at a truck stop on a road trip and read it in the passenger seat haha
