If you haven't read them yet, Three Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Deaths' End were great. I also liked Seveneves and Children of Time, though if you have any arachnophobia I'd avoid the latter.
I'm reading through (and enjoying) the Murderbot series by @marthawells.com now, and I very much liked Autonomous by @annaleen.bsky.social , and Nour by @nnedi.bsky.social

- wrath goddess sing by @mayadeane.bsky.social
- magica riot by @magicariot.com
- a psalm for the wild built by becky chambers (super cozy post-scarcity solarpunk sci-fi)
Be prepared to cry a lot though... at least if you're like me.

Sort-of-sci-fi but also hilarious AF is The Rise And Fall of DODO.
