I’m a big Andy Weir fan, kind of your average person having to fight through a lot of obstacles to save their home or themselves. He also has what I consider to be a small amount of world building that is just right for me. The less is better, just a little bit that makes it interesting but not overwhelming with politics and such.
Sci Fi that I couldn’t get into: Dune
Sci Fi that aren’t books but I like: BSG (the newer series) ST TNG, Voyager
