My must have would be something SciFi or Space Opera-y with really good characters and world building that is relatively contemporary.

To further narrow it down here are some likes, dislikes and nice to haves:

it would be nice if it is a series

thoroughly enjoy Neil Gaiman's stuff from American Gods and Anansi Boys, to Sandman and Norse Mythology and most everything in between.

I liked the earlier stories in the Fables visual novels series.

I love the good seasons of GoT, but feel like the show has ruined the books for me.

I can't put my finger on it but im not into harry potter (no its not bc of JK Rowling), i just never liked it.

I really like the world building of Haas' Court of [ xyz ] series HOWEVER it was annoying AF to constantly have to fast-forward (audiobook) through steamy bits and E L A B O R A T E outfit descriptions just to get back to the action. So...no more of that.

I like the xmen comics, and star trek, and star wars and Cyberpunk genred games and films

I like some Kurt Vonnegut like Slaughterhouse 5, Sirens of Titan and Harrison Bergeron but these are not what im after here

I could go on but I hope this is enough to generate some ideas.

I just finished in reverse chronological order

• Hyperion & Fall of Hyperion
• Complete Red Rising series (that is available)
• Complete Sun Eater series
• Complete Court of Thorns (that is available)---and no, i skipped past the ...blue bits. Now <bonk> go to horny jail!

At the moment I am reeeeealy trying to get into a Memory Called Empire, but its not taking... like at all. :/

Id really like to find more like Red Rising and Sun Eater

... do you know of any series that?

I know that

- countries like Norway and the U.K. have one--and it's done particularly well for the former.

- there is trepidation surrounding it's intital funding most likely coming from Debt

- and there are myriad other questions like what does the promised retail investment vehicle look like and how likely is it to actually have the transparent operations needed to guarantee minimal government control

I'd love to hear people's thoughts
