Well, as long as I'm going on about books, here's one I took on our

As many folks know, John Casti's writings tend to be fairly deep math/
complexity or "public science writing" as popularizations are
starting to be called.
This is a new form of fiction (at least to me!) that I hope
continues: scientific fiction within a reasonably historically
accurate setting. Sorta like writing about Al (Einstein) and Kurt
(Godel) having a chat and its expanding into a deep discussion
including many other famous scientists.
I loved it.
