A few that it reminds me of would be: - Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke
- Earth Abides by George R. Stewart
- The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss
- Among Others by Jo Walton
Although none of those are a perfect analog. I know these comparables will warn some people away from this book, it's not a book for everyone I'm sure. Although it was nominated for a couple awards. |

I also read it in 2022, and very much enjoyed it. Yes, not space opera, but an excellent book.
