Looking for sci-fi where the aliens are unlike any being on Earth. I've always been weary of humanoid aliens with misspelled Arabic word names, maybe they're green, or half-human, half-fish people on a planet lightyears away that should have drastically different evolutionary paths. Any recs?
Hail Mary by Andy Weir
@MyWoolyMastadon Looks cool. I don't think alien microorganisms would break my immersion as much as weird versions of earth animals do
It's a decent book. A good summer read. I liked his Martian book much better though.
*jazz hands*
And there is an alien other than micro organisms. Well thought out I thought.
