I read Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time a few days ago- SF story with parallel story lines converging at a point. First, a generation ark carrying hundreds of thousands of humans escaping an Earth destroyed by wars is desperately looking for a habitable world. Second, a quarantined world used as an experiment for a nanovirus to rapidly evolve higher functions in monkeys, with a scientist and AI in satellite monitoring the planet. Wonderful story.
In past few months I also had the pleasure of reading the end of Cixin Liu's trilogy which started with The Three Body Problem, two of NK Jemisin's broken world series (The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate), the absolutely fantastic The Traitor Baru Cormorant, A Taste of Honey, City of Stairs (and the next, City of Blades), We are All Completely fine (Daryl Gregory, who also wrote Raising Stony Mayhall).
