Can second both Ann Leckie (her new book "The Raven Tower" is also a great page-turner) and N.K. Jemisin (who did totally blow my mind with her Broken Earth Trilogy).

Ursula K. Le Guin also appears down below; The Left Hand of Darkness was a profound read.

Also from Ursula K. Le Guin: The Dispossessed.

Not mind bending for someone who spent some time trying to imagine a anarchist society (but still quite enriching), but maybe for others.
