The Culture series by Iain M. Banks. These books can be read in any order, though I usually recommend starting with The Player of Games. The actual first published, Consider Phlebas, is *very* tonally different than the rest of the books.

Some of these are older and it’s been long enough since I read them that I don’t know if the entire series holds up.
