There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

For me its

  • The Martian, and Artemis by Andy Weir
  • Termination Shock by Neil Stephenson
  • 2001, 2010, 2061, 3001 Odyssey series by Arthur C Clarke
  • lots of David Brin
  • lots of Greg Bear
  • One Second After (series) by William Forstchen
  • The Wool Omnibus (series) by Hugh Howey
  • Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey
  • After Sundown by Linda Howard
  • Solar Flare by Larry Burkett
  • etc

I really enjoy books with a solar flare componet due to my being a ham radio op. I also love apocolypse books of nearly any type. Just no zombies as they freak me out
