I have heard that “The Expanse” is a very good book series. Tho I haven’t watched the series or read the books.
Three Body Problem is a great tv-series that are also based on books. If I recall correctly the author of Three Body Problem won the sci-fi award when he released that book.
Another upvote for The Expanse book series. It has been one of the very few series where I was actually waiting for and monitoring for the next book to be released. The TV series was good, but the books are so much better and carry on well past where the TV series let off.
The expanse books are great and, like PHM, very accurately grounded in real science (hard SF). I never finished reading the series only because I had watched the show and they did such a good job of faithfully following the books that it just felt like a fresh reread.
I know I’m an outlier, but I didn’t care for 3BP at all. So many of the things people do just seemed unlikely or thinly motivated, and the computer technology seemed somehow both too advanced and not advanced enough in some ways.
I could not recommend the Expanse** series highly enough. all 9 books in the main series were great. the show was awesome as well, although they only touch on the first 4 books or so and the events happen in a slightly different order. if you’re looking for an epic space saga that never lets you forget about the consequences of being in the vacuum, pick up a copy of Leviathan Wakes

Going to also chime in for The Expanse series. Fantastic book series and fantastic show. Both are in my all time favorites.

K & R for Three Body Problem (the book) Hard sci fi with a minimum of distractions. The 30 episode chinese series is on youtube (but read book first).
