Good list:

• Leviathan Wakes, James S.A. Corey
• We Are Legion (We Are Bob), Dennis E. Taylor
• Binti, Nnedi Okorafor-
• To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini
• Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente
• Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky

I would probably add

• Delta-v by Daniel Suarez
• Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
• Lady Astronaut Universe Series by Mary Robinette Kowal

And I’m sure there are others Lemmy’s might add.
