Aight, Imma read it. But be warned, I started Asimov's Foundation novels, I'm at "the Prince Traders", and I find it extremely dissapointing. It's not just another case of "sci-fi books that should be set in medieval times instead of space", the "political intrigue" (which is the only thing the books have, cuz worldbuiling is nonexistent) is just bland.
I just watched the Foundation show instead - I thought it was good; the first episode is some of the most powerful tv I've ever seen. The downside was the awkwardly inserted romance bits but that might just be because I'm autistic and I just want tech, planets, spaceships, politics and schemes
Culture vessels? What?
from Bank's Culture novels - FALGSC society

The culture books are something else. Iain Banks is great

Maybe it's because the first three novels are too short, I now started Foundation and Empire which looks longer.
But anyways, he doesn't worldbuild at all.
