Kim Stanley Robinson - Red Mars trilogy - half of the crew are russians, japanese etc. After colonisation even more diverse etnicities arrive.
James Corey - The Expanse - main characters include Indian, Polynesian, whole premise of the book is "nationality" conflict. Belters especially.
Jemisin - The Broken Earth trilogy - again, different looking people as main characters, racial conflicts and so on.
Ann Leckie - Ancillary series - ambiguous gender characters as main characters, racial conflicts etc.
I'd say that western sci-fi is rather progressive in character diversity.
- teh_klev 8y agoAlastair Reynolds - Poseidon's Children trilogy - African nations (and the Chinese and Indians) are the world's foremost technological powers and space faring nations. Also ELEPHANTS IN SPACE!
- Yizahi 8y agoAlso forgot: Kim Stanley Robinson - Years of Rice and Salt - plague kills off whole Europe, and then all middle east and far east nations are main entities for the whole book.
- narag 8y agoLouis Wu - Ringworld, described as mixed race and of course aliens. The inhabitants of Ringworld (as seen in sequels) are also very diverse.
