The title is as per the name of this thread. However, I should warn you that this book belongs to 'hard' sci-fi category, meaning that you will need to have some layman's knowledge of modern physics to appreciate some of the ideas explored in this book.

Also, if you have not read many sci-fis, then you probably wouldn't find this one eye-opening as you will not have much basis for comparison.

There are plenty of great sci-fi literature out there, too many for me to recommend. You can start with the classics from renowned authors like Heinlien, Asimov, Jack Vance, etc.  As for me, I started with the Hyperion cantos by Dan Simmons; it was great then, but my taste became more refined as I read more.

The recent great ones that I have read are The Martian by Andy Weir, The Expanse series by James SA Correy (they are making this into a TV series btw), Spin by Robert Charles Wilson, and Blindsight by Peter Watts.

okay, thanks for the recommendations, will try Hyperion first!
