Over the past 6-8 months I read or skimmed every story written in OA (mostly to summarize them in this spreadsheet- www.orionsarm.com/page/655 , plus stories in few sci fi writing groups elsewhere.
More recently,
Cloud cuckoo land by Anthony Doerr - great literature about people across 15th century Constantinople, present day Idaho, and a spacecraft in the far future, examining an ancient Greek text “cloud cuckoo land”
Ministry of the future by Kim Stanley Robinson - a future scenario of what would happen if we all did almost everything right to fix climate change, the environment, and social justice. it’s like he wrote fanfiction about an IPCC (intergovernmental panel for climate change) annual report’s recommendations, but it hasn’t quite escaped being an IPCC report. Still worth reading.
