This is me describing what I've read recently in short sentences, take it as you will.
1.) Neil Stephenson - Seveneves : Of all the sci-fi I've read, I didn't expect the ending. Humanity survives a near species ending experience in space, thousands of years later almost kills themselves, but thrives. When I started I hoped that there would be some logical conclusion to open it up for a sequel, but it is wrapped well. 8/10.
2.) William Alexander - Sunward : A quick read; humanity has progressed well into space and lives with robots / autonomous machines. Most humans work as "couriers" to deliver messages. They have colonized most of the solar system, but there remains challenges in delivering messages and accomplishing base tasks. Machines are sentient, human-like. 7/10.
3.) Yume Kitasei - The Deep Sky : Facing significant climate and political problems on Earth, humanity raises a 80-person multi national team of women who are trained and educated to navigate a spaceship to another planet. It's a murder mystery and it isn't immediately obvious who is the culprit. They're frozen for 10 years and awaken to navigate some problems on their journey. I enjoyed this a lot, it felt like a stream of consciousness as it flashed back and forth between the past and present. 9/10.
