I'm reading Poul Anderson's Tau Zero, and on the one hand it is kind of boring because he is from that generation of SF writers who isn't very good at writing characters but still feels he has to, but on the other hand it is bringing home to me that I don't understand relativity (in particular time dilation effects) as well as I thought I did.

During lockdown I rediscovered my love of reading. I was lucky enough to find #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar - reminiscent of the #ForeverWar series by #JoeHaldeman. Which led me to the #Bobiverse books by #DennisETaylor which I LOVED. Evidently these fall into the category of #HardSciFi or #HardScienceFiction which I hadn't heard before - including #TheMartian by #AndyWeir #TauZero by #PoulAnderson and #TheThreeBodyProblem by #LiuCixin. I want more! Reaching out to see if anyone has any suggestions!
