Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon
4.0
This book is bonkers. 2 billion years of future human evolution and civilisations rising and falling. I've never encountered anything of such scope and ambition - made all the more profound by the fact that this was written in the 1930s.
It's true that some sections got quite repetitive, and much (if not most) of both the science and modern history does not hold up today, but I personally didn't find this an issue in the face of the rapidly accelerating time frame and successive human species flashing in and out of existence boggling my mind.
