I quit reading sci-fi years ago when the genre ran out of spaceships and blasters and was reduced to dragons and magic. It’s been 10-15 years since I bought anything off the sci-fi shelf.
Sad, really.

I love vintage sci fi. Its most of what I have on my kindle that I’ve gotten for free from the Gutenburg Project.

I highly recommend the “Wool Omnibus” by Hugh Howey. It’s available from Amazon in Kindle and paperback. The author started out this series as a self published novel on Amazon and it took off. Sales were big enough that “Wool” is scheduled to be made into a movie directed by Ridley Scott.

I was once an avid consumer of Astounding and the later iteration Analog, and F&SF. I especially appreciated Gahan Wilson and I sought out most of the authors that were published in those magazines.
In one issue, either Astounding or Analog, there was an article that was the most logical speculative explanation of Ezekiel's Wheels I have ever encountered. I so not remember what issue that was and cannot find it on line or any reference to it. I wish I could.

Check out www.baen.com . They are still publishing good science fiction.

Get a Kindle.
There are many self-published eBooks on Amazon in the “space opera” genre. Some are lame, but others are really interesting. They are inexpensive, too. $2-$4 is typical.
Drop me a line, and I wll suggest a few authors.
