Do you read any non-star wars sci fi? I would love some recs

A bit! For reading, I stick closer to the ecofeminist side than the "hard sci-fi" side of the genre, so my recommendations aren't much like Star Wars, but they ARE good.

The only major classic sci fi authors I have read and recommend are Ursula K. Le Guin and Octavia E. Butler because they are skilled and subtle writers who actually pose interesting questions and offer interesting perspectives. Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness changed me in college, but she's written a ton of novels and short stories to explore. Butler's novels and series include the Earthseed (or Parable) series, Kindred, and the Lilith's Brood series (which has fantastic alien world-building and human-alien breeding?? if I remember correctly.)

I genuinely enjoy Greg Bear's punchy use of language and world-building through character-building, but I only started reading Slant and haven't finished it so I can't promise anything. I was frantically texting friends about it as I read because I was so excited about unexpected queer characters of color and a frank exploration of the porn industry in a sci fi novel.

Oh, also on my to-read list is N.K. Jemisin. Her Broken Earth series has been on my bookshelf for too long for a book that came so highly recommended to me by friends with excellent taste.

Technically a children's author, but Madeleine L'Engle really gives me everything I need from sci fi. I was obsessed with An Acceptable Time as a kid, and the A Wrinkle in Time series had such vivid images that still live in my head even though I haven't read the books in a long time.

I think Michael Crichton is considered like, a thriller author? I guess? His books are definitely thrilling, but they please me as science fiction as well. I lost plenty of sleep over Prey last year. I love stories about how science cannot be trusted under capitalism.

Ling Ma's Severance was super gripping and let's just say it was hard to read at the start of the pandemic lol.

And if you like apocalyptic fiction, (and also the English language and linguistics,) then I have two recommendations. First is Riddley Walker by Russel Hoban, which is just this brilliant experiment in the evolution of English language and culture post-apocalypse. It's seriously one of the coolest books ever, but I absolutely need footnotes when reading it for all the cultural references and their evolutions. The second I consider in this genre is The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth. It's post-apocalyptic, but that apocalypse is the historical event of the Norman Invasion. It's written from the point of view of, and in the imagined pre-Norman English language of, a man who lived at the time.

And then there's always sci fi novels from other franchises, like my favorite Star Trek novel, Price of the Phoenix by Sondra Marshak, which is insanely kinky and has Spock and this other guy fighting over two Kirks, one of whom becomes a pet, and altogether it's just a blast.

Oh and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein of course.

I will tag @predator-padawan for additions because she is more knowledgable on the subject! I know she'll add We by Yevgeny Zamyatin because she has a tattoo from it :)
