Came here to post Tech Won't Save Us.

Never heard of the company or the system, is this any good? I tried running off brand trek with SWN before and it went ok, but I'd love a system for running specifically trek themed adventures... A solo system is great too, since I only have one player besides myself!

• Three Body Problem (and sequels, especially The Dark Forest:) it's good scifi, though I worry that a lot of people missed the message.
• Consider Phlebas/Use Of Weapons: tragic space opera is my favorite kind.
• Gideon The Ninth: sci-fantasy popcorn with a sass-mouthed narrator.
• Providence: Fresh take on ubiquitous scifi tropes, and I'm a fan of Max Barry's punchy writing style.

I wouldn't call AJ a light read, just because you spend so much time wrapping your brain around what the narrator is doing and the cultures are so deliberately weird. All the more rewarding for it though imo.
