    Hannu Rajaniemi's Jean Le Flambeur sci-fi trilogy (The Quantum Thief, The Fractal Prince, The Causal Angel), about the plots the titular gentleman thief gets swept in an extremely transhumanist future of our solar system, are some of my favorite books. Not without their flaws, but I keep coming back to them & their density of ideas.

    But I haven't managed to find something else similar to them.

    Weirdly enough, 'The Locked Tomb' books (which I also love), while quite different in attitude, might be the closest – due to being books that throw you right at the deep of it & expect you to follow with the not outright explained terminology & complex setting, while also serving by themselves as mysteries that you have to tease out what's exactly going on & how things fit together, oft times through allusions & references to past events & unique PoVs, plus having some good action & characters (also both set in our own far future, come to think of it).

    Any suggestions? (ideally available in audiobook)
