You really should consider reading Ian M Banks's Culture series novels if you like that. He's widely considered to be the best sci-fi author in the UK (He's scottish).
I'd certainly put the culture series close to par with Ender's Game and the Dune novels. They're most excellent.
- abakker 10y agoStart with Consider Phlebas. It's the easiest to start with, but also not completely representative of what the series ends up being. I highly recommend Banks.
- SEJeff 10y agoMost definitely. I recommend reading them in the order that they were published, which starts with Consider Phlebas. I also put Player of Games in the top 10 best Sci-fi books I've ever read I just enjoyed the ending of it so much. Banks is an incredible author. https://www.goodreads.com/series/49118-culture https://www.goodreads.com/series/49118-culture
