I think when wer are talking about a ‘sense of awe at the author’s imagination’ the genres that come to mind are science fiction and speculative fiction. I’d look into the works of Ursula K. Le Guin, Arthur C. Clarke, and Isaac Asimov. These are authors who have penned worlds of extreme depth and creativity. And often their works have informed the more modern works that come out to this day.
