It may not be hard scifi, but it does have eternal logic, and it plays with that logic from time to time.

I like it because of the narrative and the future it invites you to imagine.

It's also a wealth of cool ideas. This just may be young me talking, but Mass Effect was the first scifi that truly engrossed me, since I was in highschool when I played it. It's pretty much influenced my taste in scifi and entertainment in general desu.

Also,

>Implying the convergent evolution isnt very likely

Also, there are plenty of races that arent just blue skinned people. Elcor, Hanar, Volus(Who are ammonia based), and the dextro-amino aliens(Turians and Quarians) have fascinating biologies(Turians literally have metal-like keratin covering their bodies to protect it them from the harsh rays of their sun.

Alright /lit/,

I need something new to read while killing time at work. Something readable on a website or similar preferably.

I recently finished Blindsight and The Island by Peter Watts.

I'm in the middle of River Horse by William Least Heat-Moon, Footfall, and The Forge of God right now for home reading. The fifth Song of Ice and Fire book is next in my physical book que.

Need something new for work hours, though. Recommended reading? Prefer sci-fi, alternate history, and "male perspective on adventure and struggle in foreign environments" (Think Armor, Kipling, etc).
