Nominated:
A Hole in the Sky by Peter F. Hamilton
Austral by Paul McAuley
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

Nominated and Seconded:
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Salvation by Peter F. Hamilton
Neom by Lavie Tidhar

A Hole in the Sky (2021) by British SF author I enjoy Peter F. Hamilton

Austral
by Paul McAuley
2017

I like Paul McAuley’s work, and haven’t read enough of it. He is prolific and versatile, and scientifically literate. I liked his short story “Elves of Antarctica� which was set in a future warming Antarctica, similar to the setting of Austral (I believe.)

Red Rising by Pierce Brown, 2014.

meant to very dark and bleak, harsh look at colonised life on Mars, on one of my reading tick lists this year and I'd be nice to read.

Oh, this looks very intriguing! McAuley was not on my radar, but this looks excellent!

Is that audio only? I can't find a book.

It seems so, I haven't checked, so I change to another novel by him, now definitely with print and ebook: Salvation, the first in (now finished) trilogy. I've read and liked it, will re-read if the group chooses it

I second Salvation

I nominate Neom by Lavie Tidhar

I second it. While formally it is a sequel to Central Station, as I understand they are standalones in the same world. I've read the 1st, it was interesting even if I like his deconstruction of myths like By Force Alone more

I nominate; Klara and the Sun by Ishiguro, 2021.

It is in my TBR did not read but it is interesting from Artificial Conciousness perspective.
