I posted this on Reddit a while ago and it sparked some really good discussion and recommendations.

I really like The Expanse - as it doesn’t just discuss the attempted terraforming of Mars and the colonisation of the Main Asteroid Belt but also

the way that these communities decline when abundant habitable planets are discovered, where life is much easier.

So yeah, what are your best examples?

    Why does it say 4 comments but I only see two at the moment?

    Also related which books have less extreme future scenarios?

    For example I liked some of Cory Doctorow’s books, even though they’re YA books and not great necessarily, because they weren’t as extreme as 1984 or Brave New World so a bit more believable. The Expanse is alright for this too aside from all the aliens stuff.
