Hi everyone. I’m looking for my next book (or series) to read but I’m in the mood for a particular theme. I’m hoping you all can assist with some recommendations.

I’m looking for a book written around humanity first discovering FTL travel. So the first moments of humanity starting to explore outside of the solar system.

Don’t ask me why I want this specific kind of story but I do haha. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Thank you all! I’ve added every book here to my reading list.

    My wife’s review of project Hail Mary is that “it was a good book, but now I know how to build a centrifuge”. If you like that kind of sci-fi I’d recommend it. I also really enjoyed it as well.

    Rendezvous with Rama is also very good.

      I vaguely know how to build a centrifuge… I don’t necessarily know how to balance it. which leads to some exciting moments…
