Agreed. Also his Pines trilogy would definitely fit OP's description as well.

I agree with that! I couldn't really get into it though and kept thinking I'd probably love it if I lived in or was at least familiar with NYC. I love her Broken Earth trilogy though.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Also his Final Architecture series was really fun (only 2 of 3 books out yet though). It's not as serious as Children of Time but it's a wild space tale with very interesting sentient alien life forms and a nice sense of humor.
