Iain M. Banks' Culture series, about a fully automated luxury gay space communist society as far beyond Star Trek's Federation as the Federation is beyond us now. Each book is a separate narrative with separate characters, so they can be read in any order. I recommend starting with Player of Games.
I also recommend starting with Player of Games, and then also immediately ending with Player of Games lol
Wrong. Player of Games isn't even the best one, it's just the best introduction for newcomers. My favorite is Surface Detail.
