I'm looking for something like 'A Fire Upon the Deep' or 'The Stars my Destination'. There should be a lot of world building and the plot shouldn't linger in just one place most of the book.

I really like science fiction that involves world building. These are some of my favorites:

The Sparrow
Martian Chronicles
The Dispossessed
Left Hand of Darkness
Xenocide / Speaker for the Dead
Piranesi (no spaceships but still feels like sci-fi)
Hyperion Cantos
Dune
Farmer in the Sky
Beowulf's Children

I've read and loved some of these. Thanks
