Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn Peale

While I can see why this lesser-known 70 year old series of fantasy-adjacent comic castle novels inspired a generation of writers, and while I enjoyed the crazy and completely unique writing style during the first novel, by the middle of the second I was getting bored.

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.
