There used to be a whole subgenre of sci-fi I call “look at this cool place we found”. Rungworld, the Mote in God’s Eye, Rendezvous with Rama. Are there any modern books like that?

Banks’ Matter and Look to Windward have a bit of that in the background. Are there any new cool places?

@pointlessone @scifi I love these and consider them a subset of “Big Idea Sci-Fi” which is my favourite kind of SF.

@pointlessone Can recommend Ken Macleod's latest trilogy, starting with "Beyond the Hallowed Sky". Lots of interesting places!
