Sci fi has more or less exploded in the last few decades. I know there's hard sci fi, space opera, and a lot of punk genres. What subgenres are you guys really enjoying? Anything niche?

And are there any subgenres you think should become a thing?

I just finished Blindsight by Peter Watts + the short story The Colonel, which serves as a tie-in between the first book and Echopraxia. Gonna have to wait a while before picking Echopraxia though, this books are demanding!

I'm slowly getting through This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman. There's some really interesting worldbuilding going on around neurodivergence and how social customs can facilitate understanding and mutual respect, but I'm a little turned off by the capitalistic, predatory, cyberpunk space opera setting, hence the slowness.
