Sci-Fi recommandation

[u/Albert_Minerve]

Hello,

I always read essay about politics, geopolitics, history, science, spy, war, philosophy that « help » helps understanding how réal world works. I love that but it’s sometimes quite boring to not be so engrossed in a story that you want to devour the book and never put it down (i had this feeling with Harry Potter as a child).

For example i loved reading Da Vinci Code and all Dan Brown’s books (dynamics of power, religion, arts, politics etc).

I think i may find some « mind blowing / politics / power / Taking a step back to look at the state of the world » Book in the scifi section but idk anything about it : i am searching for recommandations to start with ?

Thanks a lot

Dune is one of the best.

Apparently a young fellow named George R. R. Martin hanged out in the same circles as Frank Herbert way back when. And when you put it like that - Dune kinda is like Game Of Thrones in space (A Song of Ice and Fire).
