If you like short stories, I’d recommend The Complete Robot. I also like 1Q84 but this might be a different kind of sci-if than you have in mind.

The Expanse series is by far the best modern sci1fi out there. Murderbot Diaries is a very fun read Old Man’s War is also great Armada is great if you love 80s/90s nostalgia and tropes Ghost Fleet and Burn-In are superb FICINT

The Void Trilogy is a criminally underrated/unknown series. My all time favorite even as I continue to make my way through the "classics"

recently finished Light Bringer so Red Rising series is top of mind for me. Gets so much better as the series progresses and Pierce Brown matured as a writer. If you venture in, keep in mind he wrote the first book in his early 20's...

All-Time: Blindsight by Peter Watts It's CC, hard-sci-fi (100+ pages of notes about the actual science in the back) and bleak as hell. So good. Recent favorite: There is No Anti-Memetics Division by qntm Uneven but incredibly inventive. Smarter than most sci-fi.
