There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Golden Age, based on your description, seems to fit the description of a lot of my favourite books. I have a hard time picking favourites, so here are a few series, plus a few singles, I absolutely loved:

Bobiverse, Dennis E. Taylor
Expeditionary Force, Craig Alanson
Red Rising, Pierce Brown
Foundation, Isaac Asimov
The Expanse, James S. A. Corey
Children of Time, Adrian Tchaikovsky
Project Hail Mary & The Martian, Andy Weir

For me its

The Martian, and Artemis by Andy Weir
Termination Shock by Neil Stephenson
2001, 2010, 2061, 3001 Odyssey series by Arthur C Clarke
lots of David Brin
lots of Greg Bear
One Second After (series) by William Forstchen
The Wool Omnibus (series) by Hugh Howey
Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey
After Sundown by Linda Howard
Solar Flare by Larry Burkett
etc

I really enjoy books with a solar flare componet due to my being a ham radio op. I also love apocolypse books of nearly any type. Just no zombies as they freak me out
