I liked this book. Between this and The Martian, which is a very different book, I will pass when it comes to traveling into space.

Yeah, this is a lot slower than the Three Body trilogy and doesn't have anywhere near as many twists and turns. It's also pretty grounded, at least for the first half of the book. Which isn't to say...

I felt the exact same way about this book. Do you have any recommendations in this genre? I don't read a ton, but I'm looking for something new to start.

If you couldn't finish Cryptonomicon, no, I don't think you will enjoy this.
Ed: To be clear, I think this book and Cryptonomicon are both excellent.

If you liked 3 Body, I think you'll like this one quite a bit. Lots of interesting concepts and hard science. Funnily enough, I actually found 3 Body when I was looking for more things like Seveneves.

No, you likely wouldn't. Both Cryptonomicon and Seveneves have similar structures. Seveneves is hard science fiction, though.

just can't agree with you more.
Expanse series are amazing, fast pace with well developed characters.
I also love all John Scalzi's books, you might also try collapsing empire.
You will enjoy...
