Recently I asked Miller about what he was reading. His reply:
Right now, I'm making my way through Liu Cixin's Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy (I'm on The Dark Forest now), which is thrilling me in a way that most Sci Fi doesn't (particularly Sci Fi that's this...measured). The ideas areVisit Samuel Miller's website.enormous & sprawling & deliberately force the reader to question how much we know, & how much we can know about the universe around us. I'm also a sucker for people staring down the end of humanity & talking existentially about it, & this book has...plenty of that.
Outside of that, I just read Dreamland, which is a painfully effective study of the history of opioids, which I think is essential reading in 2018 America, particularly for the parts of 2018 America where this suffering isn't readily apparent (I live in Los Angeles). I also just finished Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 which amused & delighted me... & made me want to be a better writer.
