@NanK, Have you read Octavia Butler’s Kindred? That one’s also speculative fiction/time travel/historical fiction. I’ve read several of her works but that one’s my favorite.
@Gabi_J I hope you enjoy your scifi/speculative journey! A series I’d recommend is the MaddAddam trilogy by Margaret Atwood, starting with Oryx and Crake.
Oh, and everyone must read Fahrenheit 451, if you haven’t already. Talk about prescient!
Read Fahrenheit 451 - an excellent read! Thanks for the Atwood recommendation.
Hugo Award Winners since 2016, but I haven’t read any of these books. Proceed with caution! (Year, author, title)
2016 Jemisin. The Fifth Season
2017 Jemisin. The Obelisk Gate
2018 Jemisin. The Stone Sky
(I sense a great author here! Also known for The Broken Earth series, of which some of the above might belong. More investigation needed.)
2019 Kowal. The Calculating Stars
2020 Martine. A Memory Called Empire
2021 Wells. Network Effect
2022 Martine. A Desolation Called Peace
(Another author to explore - Arkady Martine
2023 Kingfisher. Nettle & Bone

I really enjoyed The Calculating Stars series, including the novellas and the Murderbot series (Well’s Network Effect is one of the series).
