    Mickey7 by Edward Ashton (well, actually the sequel right now, finished the first book yesterday). I was actually surprised at how good it was given that I haven’t heard much buzz around it. Though that might just be me having my head buried in the sand, because apparently there’s a movie for it coming out next spring, so it’s hardly an unheard of gem lol

    But yeah it checked all the boxes for me

    • interesting characters with a fair amount of development
    • fascinating thought experiments about the nature of consciousness and continuity
    • fast paced plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of the book
    • interesting aliens and a mysterious planet
    • semi hard scifi

      That sounds like something I could enjoy. I’ll have to put that on my to read list.
