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.

Lots of good suggestions in here. Id like to echo :

  • Anything Alastair Reynolds (particularly Revelation Space)
  • Hyperion Cantos
  • Ender/Enders Shadow series
  • Children of Time/Memory/Ruin
  • Bobiverse
  • The Expanse

Also adding:

  • Aurora by KSR
  • Project Hail Mary
