Re: "Anyone have any favorite recent sci-fi reads? Here are some..."
If you enjoyed the Murderbot books, I'd definitely recommend checking out the Teixcalaan series by Arkady Martine, it's probably my favorite sci fi world created within the past few years.
Also, anything by Cory Doctorow sounds like it would be up your alley since you mentioned eco sci-fi. My favorite of his novels is Walkaway, but you can't really go wrong.
I'd also recommend The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz if you're in the mood for something shorter, cozy, and low-stakes. I thought it was a nice story.

i loved 'futurological congress' by stanislav lem when i was a child.
i loved robert sheckley's 'ghost 5' (or was it v) novel.
i loved 'on venus, we have a rabbi' or something like that, by william tenn. too tired to search on the web the correct name now.

I just finished A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. It was really good as was the first one in that series. I LOVE the Murderbot series.

Something fun I read recently that comes in bite-sized installments is Robert Sheckley's AAA Ace series. I really liked it.
The two of my favorite sci-fi book series I read were The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov and the Rama series by Arthur C Clarke.
