I have never been into sci-fi (unless on the big screen) but I read “Exhalation” by Ted Chiang for a book club and loved it. I found it brilliant and riveting, especially the novella “The Lifecycle of Software Objects” (which I was surprised/amused to see got a lot of hate on here!). My question is, given my taste, which other sci-fi writers or books would you recommend? I am especially looking for novels, not short stories. Not interested in old-timey/classic sci-fi, only contemporary. Thanks in advance!
