Massive fan of The Martian and Weirs follow up called 'Project Hail Mary'. It leans a little more in the direction of Science Fiction than the Martian did, but it's an absolute page turner from front to back.

Book reader community.
The Three Body problem is a bit more science fiction-y but it has a similar type of pull that The Martian or Project Hail Mary has. Hard to stop once you start.
Also anything by Neal Stephenson would be appropriate. Particularly Seveneves or Snowcrash.
Try Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. One of the best books I've ever read and is more or less what you are describing.
Can't wait to read a book about Sun Microsystem's operating system. Nonetheless, looks cool! Added to my bookmarks
I would suggest nothing. Is this community all about this kind of content like on Reddit? Where they ask for recs? Not my thing. Kind of like, you know, unsubscribing now. I just thought I'd let you all know with a comment, because holy crap, Reddit flashback with the requests for recommendations. NO thank you.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
I already kind of unsubscribed, being pro-active as I was. I just left my comment on my way out, just to take a stab at the ignorance and let it bleed. Thanks for leaving me a notification. It's the last one I shall receive from this group. Also, if you feel the urge to ask for a recommendation, maybe read more.
Lmfao well you’re a self important bundle of joy ain’t yah?
