Nancy Kress recommends
Robot Artists and Black Swans (2021)
Bruce Sterling
"It's all here, this time with an Italian flavor: the inventive tech, the meticulously detailed futures, the stylish and sardonic prose, the creative adjectival combinations. Set in Turin, Rome, and an upgraded Hell (Italian designers are good), these stories could only have been written by Bruce Sterling. Treat yourself to one of the most original voices in science fiction."
Keepers (2018)
(Project Earth, book 2)
Brenda Cooper
"A gemâ’a complex and plausible look at what we might face someday, and how we might respond."
The Calculating Stars (2018)
(Lady Astronaut, book 1)
Mary Robinette Kowal
"An engrossing alternate history with a unique point of view, The Fated Sky dramatically demonstrates the technical problems with going to Mars?but the technical problems are the not the only ones. Never backing down from vital issues of race and gender, The Fated Sky confronts the human issues of space travel in a United States made increasingly desperate by a massive meteor strike. Plausible, convincing, and ultimately moving."
