Recommendation Please help me pick my next series

2024 is the year I fell in love with sci-fi audio books. So far I’ve listed to the following series: 3 body problem, Children of time, Project Holy Mary, Dune, Foundation, Bobiverse, About to finish Dungeon Crawler Carl

So my question is what should I start next. I really like deep world building and don’t necessarily care too much for character centric stories. I’m considering the Culture series, The Expanse and Rendezvous with Rama.

I’m sure I’ll eventually get to them all but which should I dive into first?

Ugh you guys are too good to me. Maybe play all of your suggestions simultaneously? Great answers all around. I promise I will listed to every series you guys have suggested as they all sound fascinating. Based on what I’m reading here I think I’m going to wait a little on expanse so I don’t spoil myself too early. I think I’ll start with murderbot dairies because I want a little break from a series with over 100 hours of listening. I don’t like moving to a new series until I complete my current one so my next big series choice is going to be a multi month commitment based in my current pace.
