Read the sequel too. They're just good fun, well written and not heavy reading

Do you want the nostalgia factor? Or just good, fun, SciFi?

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Both are great, but if I had to pick one it would be sci fi

Try The Bobiverse series by Dennis E Taylor. Good fun SciFi, with some nostalgia. Not nearly as much nostalgia as RP1, but it's there.

Going to second The Bobiverse. The Murderbot Diaries pairs well with it!

Both of those rank among my favorite book serieses.
