What’s some books with an interesting vision of the future? I don’t just mean more advanced technology, I mean the way it’s organized.

I find often people can’t envision past the society we have now. There’s that quote, “It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism”, and it seems more and more true, but sci-fi authors seem best equipped to actually imagine beyond that.

I’ve heard some sci-fi authors mentioned in this category before, like Heinlen, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series.

I haven’t read any of them lol. Would have no idea where to start within them that fits this category, or what other choices there are that people would suggest.

    The Monk and Robot series by Becky Chambers is really good. Her Wayfarers series flirts a bit with describing anarchist-ish and collectivist space society, especially in Galaxy and the Ground Within. She’s a good read all around.
