Hi, not much of an avid reader but I'll pick up a sci-fi book every few months. The past few books I've read are the one in the title, Seveneves by Neal Stephenson, The long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers, and currently Red mars by KSR.
One moment from Aurora really stuck out to me was when >! the ship AI intervened at a pivotal moment and yelled at the people on it to stop doing something, !< I forget the specifics now but if you've read it you'd know. It elicited a bigger reaction from me than I expected lol.
So what I'm looking for are books that have similar "oh shit!!“ moments or great plot twists, preferably Sci Fi. I recall having a similar reaction to something in House of Leaves as well.
TIA!
