I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. Was a recommendation on the R site.

Complex, eon spanning, hard sci-fi. I'm loving it!

If you could, what other sci-fi works would you compare it to? I am wrapping up the Children of Time series and could use something else.

Not sure. Tried a couple of Adrian Tchaikovsky and couldn't really get on. Could be because they were audiobooks.

Have been 'off' of reading for a while, but have realised a new found love for my Kindle.

Andy Wier's Hail Mary might fit your bill.

Or Iain Banks' Culture series.
