- The Archive Undying - Emma Mieko Candon (mecha sci-fi, male protag) - The Genesis of Misery - Neon Yang (mecha sci-fi, nonbinary protag) - Murderbot Diaries (series; All Systems Red is bk1) - Martha Wells (action/social sci-fi?, agender protag) - Foreigner (start of series) - C. J. Cherryh (social sci-fi epic, male protag) - An Unkindness of Ghosts - Rivers Solomon (dystopic generation ship; protag has a complicated relationship with gender) - Gamechanger - L. X. Beckett (near-future sci-fi, multiple protags [female, nonbinary, male/AI]) - Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold (mostly male protagonists) - The Prey of Gods - Nicky Drayden (near-future sci-fi, multiple protagonists of varied genders) - The Luminous Dead - Caitlin Starling (horror sci-fi, female protag) - The Quantum Thief - Hannu Rajaniemi (space opera + heists, male protag) +bonus rec for a book I haven't read but keep hearing about (and I like the author): Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky (it has space spiders?)
