Finished the fourth book in the 'Children of Time' series.

'Children of Strife' by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Book covers three different eras of human space exploration. Tchaikovsky writes like a cross between Terry Pratchett and Arthur C. Clarke. Whimsy and humor slamming into hard science at the speed of light.

Classic = "The Silver Metal Lover" by Tanith Lee. In the future, robots are absolutely perfect. Too perfect. Way, way too perfect.

It’s odd that it's Tchaichovsky's biggest work but it’s almost the only thing of his I haven’t read. It’s on the list though.
