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!

Interesting... that's the 2nd video game based on a book that I had no idea was a book.

The other being S.T.A.L.K.E.R. which was based on the book Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, who are also Russian.

Now we have a whole rabbit hole of Russian genre fiction!
