Let me share several books that brought me a similar level of awe, due to the scope and creativity of the world-building:
1. Accelerando by Charles Stross - for THE Scope.
2. Quantum Thief by Hanny Rajaniemi - for the similarly high entry threshold and rewarding experience when you cross it.
3. Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds - for a fascinating vision of future human societies.
I'd be happy to find more books like these.
- gpderetta 3y agoI enjoyed pretty much everything from cstross and Reynolds (pushing ice and especially house of suns are great stand alone). I enjoyed quantum thief but somehow I have yet to go beyond the first book.
- yboris 3y agoAccelerando is amazing; see it being recommended several times in this post!
