Which sci-fi titles (movies, books) do you consider comforting, cozy, something you come back to from time to time? For me, I guess it is The Matrix. Still holds up to this day, gets better with every re-watch, and gives me a sense of peace when I need it.

okay. So. Murderbot hit a space for me. I read it in the middle of the pandemic. the wry, humor of it was just beautiful. the plot and story was engaging. The whole thing was beautiful.

incidentally, the librarian that turned me onto it (a very reliable source,) was kind of acting like how I imagine Gordon Ramsey might act when suggesting going out to KFC. Kind of discretely. kind of like maybe they were dealing weed. And maybe also, kinda like they felt guilty about that.
