Most of my favourite books/movies/TV shows are Sci fi - I love Mary Shelley, slaughterhouse five, annihilation (both the book and the movie), The Thing, x files, the invasion, and the OA. This feels like a pretty wide variety of writing styles when I line them up but 90% of the sci fi I read/watch I just don’t enjoy at all. It’s a shame because when I love something sci fi I feel like it’s changed my whole life, but when it comes to finding new things I can just enjoy its easier to go through other genres. Is anyone else like this? Does anyone have reccomendations based on what I do like?
Look at Richard K. Morgan. He wrote the Altered Carbon books. The first season of the tv show is ok, the second not so much. The animated one is pretty good. However the books are outstanding. There’s two other books not in the Altered Carbon world that you might like better: Thin Air and 13teen.
