I'm looking for a book, similar in the ways of Dune, with concepts or philosophies that make you think about what it means to be human, perhaps creates existential dread, or offers just really imaginative exploration of culture, passion, etc. I think sci-fi is an important component to this as seeing into the future, mirroring humans in robots, or similar explorations, requires a leap ahead. I'm not too concerned with pew pew lasers or a million alien species. I'd be happy to offer clarity, if needed. Thanks!
