Me recently with Project Hail Mary. Now just reading sub par sci-fi space books trying to chase that same feeling of exploration and wonder.
Have you read Hyperion by Dan Simmons? Amazing sci-fi
One of those books I bought sitting on my bookshelf unread. Well right now its in my storage area cause I am between living arrangements EDIT: just looked i bought it digital my bad. I can bump it up the list a bit.
Of course, The Martian would be the next step if you haven't read that too.
But also, I found it similar to The Andromeda Strain or multiple novels by Frederik Pohl.
I only read Artemis and Hail Mary, saw the movie The Martian, but haven't read the book yet.
Hot damn, this has been on my reading list for a while, gonna start it today.
I highly recommend the audio book. I feel like it adds something extra over reading the text, which is unusual. No spoilers.
I would actually recommend the opposite. For something like this I really like letting my mind create the imagery. Especially with a movie coming
