Comforting science fiction (self.sciencefiction)

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.

Arthur C. Clarke's stuff is like that... So are a lot of the old anthologies from 50s-60s (e.g. the Groff Conklin ones ... Omnibus for one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groff_Conklin).

The 'Riverworld' series by Farmer and 'Ring' series by Niven are also.

Anime series called Aria, it’s peak slice of life, very light in the sci fi but it’s there. My ultimate comfort watch

Octavia E. Butler's Xenogenesis trilogy (also known as Lilith's Brood Trilogy). I've listened to the audiobook narrated by Barrett Aldrich four times now, and I always discover some new angle to the story.

Not the one I just read. It was excellent but quite apocalyptic. Even worse, there was all this buildup about whether humanity would learn anything and not so much

Another one... Ell Donsaii series. It's light but nice to read and quite interesting in a science fiction kinda way
