For example, if we choose The Martian by Andy Weir for May (great book but lots of people have already finished it) we could then choose Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach for June and be able to tie the two together. |
Does it have to be newer stuff? I mean,
The Martian is a great one, but so is Kim Stanley Robinson's
Red Mars... or how about one of Neil Stephenson's books?
The Diamond Age has several possible tie ins-- 3D printing on-demand, AI, nanotechnology...
