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
