Books that are very recent, but have sequels already announced work as well. I’ve read several of the classics, but the only recent series I’ve read are the peripheral and the expanse due to curiosity from the tv adaptions. Looking for well written, character driven novels with strong sci-fi elements that take place at least 30 years from now but preferably much later. It doesn’t need to be hyper-realistic but I like authors that put a lot of thought and make things at least plausible.
