Hi everyone. I’m looking for my next book (or series) to read but I’m in the mood for a particular theme. I’m hoping you all can assist with some recommendations.

I’m looking for a book written around humanity first discovering FTL travel. So the first moments of humanity starting to explore outside of the solar system.

Don’t ask me why I want this specific kind of story but I do haha. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Thank you all! I’ve added every book here to my reading list.

    I found those a little depressing. Like everything is kinda awful. I enjoyed his The Final Architecture series more.

      I can see that from the perspective of humanity, but for the children of earth it’s pretty hopeful and a great story (less so in the 3rd book though I suppose). Even really for humanity at the end of the day. They have the opportunity to live on through progeny. I am also very interested to see where the story goes from here. I think that if he ever reveals the actual events that took place on earth it’s going to be a wild ride.

      I’ll check out that Final Architecture series though.
