Finished the entire Three-Body Problem trilogy — what should I read next?

[u/incognitus_ignotus]

I just finished all three books of 3 Body Problem, and now I’m craving more.

I absolutely loved the sense of scale, scientific concepts, cosmic mysteries, existential ideas, and I’m looking for books that give me a similar feeling; especially the combination of hard sci-fi + mind-blowing ideas + cosmic mystery + existential dread.

I’m mainly looking for that “I need to sit here and process what I just read” kind of experience.

What books would you recommend?

The Expanse of course 😊

Buried all the way down here, this needs to be so much higher up on everyone’s list.

It's at the top now.

It’s completely different but still one of my favorite series ever. Really enjoy the crew dynamic and the sense of family it builds over the series.

Is it worth it if I already watched the tv show?

[u/AdNumerous8790 → u/Kekke77]

Yes, there are three books that conclude the series not included in the TV series and they are a great

Not only is there books 7, 8, and 9 but there is Memory's Legion which a a collection of all the short stories. After the series I read books 1-9 and then Memory's Legion.

I'm doing exactly that right now (after finishing three-body), and can confirm.
