My girlfriend really likes the Southern Reach trilogy and is thoroughly enjoying Nicholas Binge’s Ascension right now after I lent it to her, so I’m trying to find more books that fit this mold. Along the lines of “an expedition is sent into a mysterious/dangerous/shifting/alien landscape and has to survive when everything gets extremely fucked up.”
So far I’ve suggested Darwinia and Ringworld, but what are some others?
The Sparrow! It’s science fiction about a group making first contact with aliens. Insightful thoughts on faith and humans being humans, kind of the definition of >!the road to hell is paved with good intentions!<.
