Ask HN: What sci fi books are you reading now?

I’m looking for fresh recommendations. What sci-fi books have you started or finished recently?

    In the post I didn’t mention what I’m reading: Robot by Adam Wiśniewski-Snerg

    Somewhat lesser-known sci-fi novels I read in the past:

    The Unincorporated Man (and three sequels)

    Cross between science fiction and fantasy: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality ("HPMOR") - the premise is that Harry Potter is raised by a good aunt and uncle, and is taught the Scientific Method and so he uses that when encountering magic.

    Old Man's War (and sequels) by John Scalzi

    Redshirts by John Scalzi

    Science-reality: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

    Ra by qntm

    I am currently halfway through "Blindsight" by Peter Watts. It's a tough read but easily the most thought provoking take on consciousness and first contact i have encountered in years.
