Hey Lemmings,
I’ve just finished up the second of John Scalzi’s Lock-In novels and I’m looking for some recommendations for some new books in the same vein. I’ve enjoyed a bunch of sci-fi mysteries like The Murderbot series, the I Robot novels, even Niven’s ARM stories. So throw me some more like that if you can.

Hyperion is a sci-fi version of the Canterbury tales, each chapter the story of one of the characters with an overarching mystery. It’s an absolutely great book that i don’t see recommended enough

    I’ve seen this book on a lot of shelves but I never knew about the Canterbury Tales concept. I drop this in to my bookshelf buffer just on the reference alone. Although I do reserve the right to picture Dan Simons as Paul Bettany ala A Knight’s Tale.
