No progress in manned spaceflight? I get it, the shuttle was a waste of money and time...BUT... it helped build the ISS. Plus, shuttle flights turned NASA's focus back onto human and medical research. We had some work done during the Apollo Program but really STS did A LOT of human research. Also you missed skylab, MIR, and ASTP.
Edit: also I recommend David Baker's "History of Manned Spaceflight". It's a bit hard to find as its not super well known and its from the 80s so there is some out of date information but not much. The book is pretty much the penultimate spaceflight history book (for the US but there is a little bit of Soviet space. It was hard to gain access cause a lot of information about the Russian program was still secret, even after Apollo Soyuz.) Its a massive book. A literal goldmine. https://www.amazon.com/History-Manned-Space-Flight/dp/051754377X
Okay, for sci-fi, you have to get The Culture series in. Put Player of Games face out.
I don't read a lot of space books, but Asteroid Hunter by Carrie Nugent is awesome. I mostly have recommendations for spaceflight and spaceflight history, and a lot of these come from listeners to my podcast, so all credit to them.
