slow horses by mick herron

I tore thru this very british spy thriller, and fully intend on reading the rest - it didn’t have the prose of a le carrĂ© (some key moments were really quite clunky), and it was a touch predictable, but the characters were solid and i have a feeling his writing will improve with the newer books.

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.
