MODERATORS
Speculative Fiction /Science Fiction covers such a huge range of potential topics!
I'm a huge fan of the older masters Heinlein/Clarke/Niven/Asimov/EE Smith, etc. Many of their stories are smaller in scope than a typical space opera (not counting the absurd scale of Foundation!).
Ian Banks's Culture books have fascinating worlds and usually great characterization. I highly recommend them.
In Military Sci-fi, I'm a big fan of Jack Campbell's Lost Fleets serieses. Honestly most of the characters aren't terribly deep, but it's great fun. My #1 shared world is Battletech (big robots), but because that's been written by so many authors, the quality really varies.
