Dang mf in r/books dunking on reading what a fucking time to be alive

On The Beach

Glad I made this post. So many cool recommendations!

Sounds like they could all fit together. Thanks for letting me know about Ridley Walker, now I have something interesting to read after the road!

What’s your reasoning? I’ve read neither book but have heard of dunces by name

Try inhibitor series starting with revelation space by alastair reynolds. Way better. I agree tbp and tdf were over inflated with poorly written dialogue, bad takes on women, weak propagandized commentary on geopolitics, and poorly thought out technology (sophons) relative to the rest of the trisolarian repertoire regarding space travel, etc. If you want something fun with the same ideas tbp pretends it invented then inhibitor series is where it is at
