Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

GOOD book. A bit incomprehensible at the beginning when you're learning the jargon for the world they're describing.

Would reccomend for all hard sci-fi fans out there.

Figured I should give honorable mention to my actual two favorites, The Gunslinger (and the rest of Dark Tower) and The Stand both by Stephen King. Just really really great worldbuilding and I love apocalyptic fiction. Also the Passage series is great because when the whole vampire apocalypse is finally resolved society at large doesn't just go back to rebuilding the preapocalypse status quo but is fundamentally changed in profound and differing ways around the whole world.
