Good science fiction franchises

I am a fan of science fiction and fantasy, especially space opera, and found my way into the transhumanism movement through them.

Do ye know any good books for films from those genres?

My favourite ones, huh…
Film: Star Wars, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica
Novel: Perry Rhodan, Honor Harrington
Comicbook: Yoko Tsuno, Le Chateau des Etoiles, Marvel, Valerian et Laureline,
Videogame: Sins of a Solar Empire, Mass Effect, Starcraft

There are some gems:

Novels:

  • The Lady of Mazes by Karl Schroeder
  • Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds

Video games:

YouTube channels:

I haven’t really read many books at all (no doubt due to my mediocre phantasia, that is my level of visual imagination while reading is only mediocre), and the one sci-fi book series I’ve entirely read is the one inspired by the X series: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(Spieleserie)#Romanumsetzungen
The videogames are pretty damn good too, although X-Rebirth and X4 aren’t quite as good as X3 was.

There’s also the Endless series which has a few videogames by now (Endless Space, Endless Legend), and there’s according comicbooks too as well as.

i own a thousand of sci-fi, fantasy and horror books, and i read them all.
now i want to sell them. are you interested?

To me, it is the opposite. I usually “think” in pictures, sounds, feels etc., formal language is only a small part in my thoughts.
