I enjoy the occasional military sci-fi novel or series, some of them are even pretty great (Old Man's War and Forever War are two good examples), but lately I have become totally burnt out by all of the military sci-fi that's out there. It seems as if three out of every four new sci-fi books are military sci-fi.

I would really like it if I could get some good recommendations for non-military sci-fi novels, especially books in a series. There are a lot of good individual non-military sci-fi novels, but I haven't really come across too many that are a part of a series. (The Hitchhiker's Guide is one exception.)

I really enjoyed The Repossession Mambo, Regarding Ducks and Universes, Agent to the Stars, and Ready Player One if that gives you fine folks any kind of guide to the sort of tastes that I have.

Hopefully some other people out there will be in the same boat that I am and this post will be able to point out some options to others who like their futures free of armored battalions, tactics, and alien armies.
