Jkol··on Ask HN: Great fiction books that have had a positive impact on your life?
Same for me, I loved it for the lessons I learned and I've gifted that book to friends but boy it is a slog to read through.

Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy, aka Three Body Problem. Explored existential topics in a way I've never encountered anywhere else. I truly believe that decades from now this series will be viewed as the LOTR of our time.

I've recently been reading the Foundation series, and have found the concept of The Mule character to be incredibly eye opening. I can't say directly it's had a positive impact on my life but it's definitely changing my outlook and I feel its expanded my horizons.
