Comforting science fiction (lemmy.world)

Which sci-fi titles (movies, books) do you consider comforting, cozy, something you come back to from time to time? For me, I guess it is The Matrix. Still holds up to this day, gets better with every re-watch, and gives me a sense of peace when I need it.

Just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It's a fun and wholesome scifi story.

Great pick. I read that over the summer and found it both excellent and uplifting! It really showcases a shining example of humanity we should strive for

Indeed! I would say "The Martian" also fits.

The audiobook is fantastic if you're into that sort of thing, too.

Yeah. I did actually listen rather than read. It was amazing. Rocky's tunes made him come to life. "Why are you stupid. Question?"
