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!

Which novel was your favorite?

[โ€“] _apokalipto_@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I have just started the Hydrogen Sonata a few days ago, but my favorite so far would be between Surface Detail and The Player of Games. Inversions was quite a different novel in the series and I have heard many people don't like it but I really enjoyed that one also.
