how high we go in the dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu

This slightly sci-fi novel of interleaving stories is entirely too melodramatic, maudlin and death obsessed, because it doesn’t earn any of it - the characters are all shallow copies of each other with very little depth or voice.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter. 

Maelstrom by Peter Watts

Watts’s second entry in the Rifters series doesn’t quite have the same unique magnetic characters of the first (and maybe it has slightly too many characters in general) but what it lacks in story it makes up for in prediction and world - read this to wallow in a truly terrible future dystopia that feels extremely likely.
