Neal Stephenson (Anathem, Seveneves, Rise and fall of DODO, Snow Crash in this order)
Foundation cycle by Isaac Asimov
Dune cycle
This is what I would recommend in similar flavour.

Thank you! Foundation was a forgotten intended read. I’ll check out Stephenson too.
Loved Seveneves, didn't really get into Snow Crash tbh. I'm told the baroque cycle is the place to go(?). So much to read lol
I admire Snow Crush because it's novel from over 30 years ago which described pretty accurate vision of Metaverse as we now consider it.
Read Anathem. It's a masterpiece.
