Non-US sci-fi recommendations? (lemmy.ml)

Hi all! I just finished "The Three Body Problem" by Liu Cixin and enjoyed it a lot. It's got me curious about sci-fi written elsewhere in the world and what cultural differences may appear in sci-fi written from a non-US perspective.

Does anyone have recommendations for what I should check out next? I only speak English and (sort of) French so I'm reliant on translations to one of those languages. Thanks!

Check out Roadside Picnic, inspiration for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series.

I was going to say "anything by the Strugatsky brothers" and this is the perfect place to start.

I would also recommend Stanislaw Lem.

This looks very cool! I've heard of S.T.A.L.K.E.R but never realized there was a book. Thanks for the recommendation :D
