For starters, definitely read Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson. So good.

And The Peripheral by William Gibson, although I wasn't a huge fan of the follow-up novel called Agency.

Also, A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine should be on your to-read pile if you liked The Expanse, I think.

Oh yeah, and so far I think my favorite book of 2023 has been Cory Doctorow's Red Team Blues. It's a super fast read and a lot of fun if you're at all into computer security. Very unlikely hero too—a retirement age forensic accountant living out of a rock star bus, traveling the US in search of good wine and good food, haha.
