Carrying the Fire by Michael Collins

Although he has a tendency to wax poetic a bit more than he really needs to, Collins’ description of the NASA programs he flew with and his two pioneering space flights is exhilarating and full of interesting tidbits, with a good sense of humor and a really unique 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.
