Where should I go next (alternating between sci-fi books and history pods)?

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, the best sci-fi book I've ever read.

Just finished this, excellent! Amaze, amaze, amaze!

"Project Hail Mary" is an amazing sci-fi, and I think it's somewhat reminiscent of the "Three Body Problem", but even better.

Have you read Andy Weir's newest? Project Hail Mary

Also just finished Hyperion which was enjoyable.

Fantastic book, yet rarely talked about

Some of my fave thought-provoking standalone sci-fi novels. Your list are some of my faves too

Try Hyperion (1st two books) by Simmons

Hyperion & Endymion

Best sci-fi book of all time

@Fall_of_Civ_Pod because you'll visit these cradles of early human flourishing in your imagination while listing, incredibly production value by @PaulMMCooper

Fall of Civilizations podcast is superb.

I would suggest the @Fall_of_Civ_Pod podcast. Excellent story telling. Really brings you in the perspective of an observer witnessing how many great ancient civilizations rose and fell.

excellent

Check out the Fall of Civilizations podcast, specifically the ones about the empires of the America’s

Your best next pick should be the @Fall_of_Civ_Pod

Children of Time Series by @aptshadow for its hard sci-fi and civilisation building vibes

Children of Time is a nice companion to that one. Because spiders.

Revolutions Podcast.. the Russian season it’s crazy. It’s crazy how Lenin, Trotsky and the Bolsheviks managed to snatch the largest territory in the world just like that… a couple of exiles in a couple of years

I really like the Revolutions podcast from @mikeduncan. It provides a broad historical overview by looking at these incredibly intense inflection points. And they are so relevant to today.

The Revolutions podcast is excellent.

Revolutions podcast (covering the English, American, French, Haitian, Spanish American, 1830 July, 1848 pan-Europe, 1871 Paris Commune, Mexican, and Russian Revolutions) is excellent, as is his previous podcast, The History of Rome.

On history pods, I can warmly recommend looking into @mikeduncan Starting with the History of Rome

Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson should be on your list.

The "We are Legion (We Are Bob)" series is wonderful. What's it like to be a von Neumann probe?

A space exploration story told from the perspective of a revived cryonics patient

The Rest is History History, on Fire

pod is excellent, with some rather varied topics.

Red Mars is a good one - the others in the series also good but take a while to get to the point

Have you tried any of Alastair Reynolds’ books? The “Revelation Space” trilogy is excellent but the standalone “House of Suns” is probably my favourite
