Solaris by Stanisław Lem, isn’t your genre-generic science fiction novel. It’s a medley of discovery, an alien planet, an intelligence that inhabits the oceans, and an unravelling of the human mind when confronted with an unaccustomed and strange new interaction. Lem’s writing style is unique. A must read for those who like to go deep into the how’s and why’s of everything. Preview the book.
An essential science fiction read; Asimov’s Foundation is an ideas novel. Concepts woven into the story stretch the imagination enough to keep a reader engrossed, without snapping the narrative into the realm of fantasy.

Remarkable. Right there among the best space adventure stories.
Conceptualized by Nikolai Kardashev, a Russian astronomer, the Kardashev Scale is a way to determine how advanced a civilization is, based on the amount of energy the civilization consumes. Kardashev had initially made three categorizations, Type 1 is a planetary civilization which is able to store and use all the energy available on its own planet from its own star, Type 2 being a stellar civilization which is able to harness and utilize the energy of its entire star and a stellar system (a close group of stars) and Type 3, a galactic civilization which is capable of harvesting all the energy from across its own galaxy.
