Ken MacLeod puts it succinctly in the introduction to the 2014 Gateway ebook reissue with this quote from Oppenheimer:
‘The physicists have known sin,’ said J. Robert Oppenheimer in 1947, of their responsibility for the atomic bomb, ‘and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.’

If a novel remains in publication for over seventy years (and still receives high honors in the all-time best lists), then it is certainly a timeless work that continues to prove its relevance to contemporary societies.

Her Oxford Time Travellers series is fantastic!
I just finished reading "To Say Nothing of the Dog" 😂😂😂 which can be read as a sequel to *Doomsday Book*, although it can stand on its own -

Harrison is a rare specimen in science fiction who brings genuine humor to the table (Connie Willis also comes to mind). The Jim di Griz series is definitely unique in that respect!

You might prefer the 2014 novel "Awake in the Night Land"
by John C. Wright: written as a tribute to Hodgson's original – at least that's how it was for me.
Wright writes in a more modern style (no wonder), and I hadn't even read the original. My attempt to read Hodgson afterward ended with a DNF.

380 pages In the german edition ...
Subjectively felt it was too long - 200 pages (original) would have been enough for me 😉

Sometimes I wonder whether fewer pages would be good for a novel. In the end, this novel dragged a bit.

Adam Roberts is a guarantee for the once-desired conceptual breakthrough or paradigm shift in a science fiction novel—and you can take that literally: Roberts writes singletons with a punch.
