I really enjoyed the 3 body problem series (3 books). It’s sci-fi. Heavy on game theory. If you have a collectivist mindset in space, You’re gonna have a bad time. Netflix has a series coming out for them in January. Hoping they don’t butcher it!

I read this novel years ago and still think of it from time to time. Based on your reading list, I think you’ll appreciate it as well.

Men at Arms or Small Gods by Terry Pratchett (can be hit or miss, depending on if you like the style)

Phantoms in the Brain by Sandra Blakeslee & VS Ramachandran

The Old Man and the Sea, it's similar storytelling as The Alchemist

One of my favorite books ever is American Prometheus about Robert Oppenheimer (especially relevant as the movie comes out this month). You’ve probably read it but The Price of Tomorrow (Jeff Booth) is excellent. A couple of my recent favorites are The Comfort Crisis (Michael Easter) and From Strength to Strength (Brooks). I always recommend Being Mortal (Gawande) because it’s a good taste of mortality mixed with the realization that humans need purpose. When Breath Becomes Air is amazing if you don’t mind reading something about someone dying. The Emperor of All Maladies is amazing as it’s basically a biography of the history of cancer. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is an excellent (and very readable) account of Nazi Germany if you like historical stuff. Catastrophic Care is an awesome recommendation for potential fixes for our healthcare system. A Brief History of Time is a fun read if you’re willing to not understand a lot of what is written by Hawking. I’d recommend 1984 and Animal farm too. Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut is amazing but sounds like you’ve probably been there.
