Tchaikovsky's work has stunning depth in its world-building and well-constructed moments of intellectual and emotional clarity: it's so amazing how he manages to make a futuristic world that is far-off and alien hit so close to home. 

A friend recommended this after I told him about my obsession with Monarch Butterfly migration in North America, who (fun fact) specifically don't fly over Lake Superior's entire diameter: scientists figure that they make a strange detours because of a mountain that might've been there ages ago.
