I really enjoy sci-fi that starts grounded in reality — that eases you in with a slow build, a sense of normalcy, before the shift. I love when the story begins in the everyday, then opens into something strange and vast. Think the beginning of The Matrix or Old Man’s War, perhaps? That kind of vibe. Any recommendations?
Tschaikofsky is amazing in general, my new favourite sci-fi writer. The Children trilogy is great hard sci-fi while the Architects trilogy is equally awesome epic space opera.
