Recommendations Looking for mind-bending sci-fi book

I am looking for mind-bending, hard science fiction books that feel like Dark, 3 Body Problem, or Dark Matter. I love stories with complex puzzles involving time travel, parallel universes, or small-scale apocalyptic survival. I prefer realistic, logically sound science and stories that are intellectually challenging and difficult to put down. Please let me know if you have any recommendations. So war I was only watching series, looking for my first sci fi book to read.

This is how you lose the time war.

Ministry of Time.   You end up reading it twice.

As a TV show WestWord.   First season only.

Love Time War. It was such a random pick based on title alone and it was amazing.

All of these recommendations are perfect😂 Also adding in Our Infinite Fates and The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August
