I haven’t had any luck in finding sci-fi books recently. I’m looking for a longer story that takes its time to establish the world/universe and the characters living in it. I like the idea of exploring space or futuristic cities/landscapes and being on a journey together with the protagonist. The story doesn’t have to have a happy end or flawless characters, but I also don’t like it when everything is hopeless/dystopic and all the characters stumble from one flawed decision to the next one. Some examples of what I enjoyed so far are:

    Thanks for mentioning it. I definitely should’ve added it to my post, since I enjoyed that story so much. Also, just in case you haven’t seen the Apple TV adaptation of it… don’t… They completely botched that one imo.

      I wrote a really long praise of Foundation before I realised that you’ve just said you already like it… instead I’ll just say have you read Caves of Steel and its sequels? They are set about 20k years before Foundation and are also very good

        I haven’t read the robot series yet but I’ll definitely add it to my list now. Also, please don’t feel discurraged to post your perspective here. Even if I’ve already read the books, there might be others who’ll find it helpful!
