I read a lot of sci-fi growing up in the 50’s - 60’s, but not much lately. My favorites back then were A.E. Van Vogt and Alfred Bester...and a lot of classic era sci-fi. Modern sci-fi, not so much.
Recently, I have been watching an excellent video series you can find on Amazon Prime — The Expanse, which takes place in the solar system chiefly in the asteroid belt and has a cogent methology of Earthers, Martian settlers and “Belters” in conflict. I am finishing the third season of the series now and it keeps getting better and better.
The series is based on a series of books by the same name, which those who have read it say is even better than the video...as usual.
I did read several books a couple of years ago in Jack Campbell’s The Lost Fleet series, which is a nice series of sci-fi books, if you like the mindless sci-fi space opera type.
