Rise and Kill First by Ronen Bergman

It may bill itself as a history of Israeli assassinations, but this incredibly well-researched history functions surprisingly well as a fact-focused and unbiased cross-sectional history of Israel from before its founding to much more recently, and I have finished it with a much deeper understanding of the regional geopolitics.

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.
