So, I'm looking for media that leans hard into world building, specifically worlds that are extremely different from ours. World building is obviously a major tenant of sci-fi/fantasy in general, but what I want is huge, complex, strange, worlds, the more detailed the better but that still operate with internal logic. I especially like stories where it feels like you only see half the world and there are still new horizons to be explored by the time the story ends. The obvious example is Mieville's Bas Lag trilogy but some other examples that scratch that itch for me to varying degrees of success are:

-The Bioshock game series

- His Dark Materials By Phillip Pullman

-Neverwhere By Neil Gaiman

-Hyperion By Dan Simmons

- Some of Doctor Seuss's more creative works, haha.
