Exemplar : The Autonomous Sequence (Autonomous Sequence‪)‬

On Earth, technology is forbidden . . .

On the new worlds, technology is everything . . .

A wild ride into the future of humankind.

After damaging climate change, humanity is divided, torn into the technophobic nature-worshippers on Earth and the banished children of science on the new worlds.

Jaruss awakens, drifting 300 light-years from Earth, trapped, memoryless, and alone. Who is he, where does he come from, and what are these recurring nightmares that trouble his sleep? To find out, he must outwit an efficiency-obsessed AI and join the dangerous crew of the stealth ship, Pangolin.

Thought-provoking interstellar adventure brilliantly executed.

Starts in the vein of an Andy Weir novel (The Martian, Project Hail Mary) and then picks up serious Firefly vibes.
