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.

    thats like basically heinlen’s main thing. almost all his books has some sort of unique social structure. They by and large are only the same for books in a series. I dunno about foundation. feels more like a cabal or something. You make me want to read more Le Guin and I don’t think I have robinson so will need to check out. problem is I don’t read much anymore (time. I need to be like that twilight zone guy but then don’t break my glasses.)
