Hello all! I am just coming to the end of the fantastic Culture series by Iain M Banks and I am looking for recommendations for similar books/authors. I have also enjoyed James S A Corey's The Expanse books so if anyone has a good recommendation for similar sci-fi books it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Alistair Reynolds' Revelation Space series is excellent. My introduction/entry point was "Chasm City," and that played out awesomely for getting into the first two novels in the formal trilogy. Reynolds was also partially inspired by the Culture series.

Thank you! I have never heard of Alistair Reynolds before. The revelation space trilogy looks good.

I am just finishing that series. It's .. rather oddly written. But still enjoyable.
