Books like Foucalt’s Pendulum or The Name of the Rose
Books that deal with history, information, some esoteric knowledge but still have a good plot, story and multiple layers to think through. Has to be well written like Foucalt’s Pendulum or The Name of the Rose. Outside of Eco.
I would try Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver, he is more known for his SFF, but this is historical fiction. Like Eco he folds some very dense concepts into his work. Anathem would also be a good option on the more SFF side.
