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!

I enjoyed Cixin Liu's Rememberance of Earth's Past trilogy (Three Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End).

I'll second that recommendation. It's a fantastic series, but oh boy does it get crazy (in the best way possible).

I finished reading them a few months ago, and am still reeling.

Oh yes, thank you. That trilogy is on my list, looking forward to reading those.
