If you like science fiction, I recommend you the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov (intermediate to hi-intemediate level reading). "In many ways, the Foundation [trilogy] is unique as a science fiction novel. The focus of the books is certainly the trends through which a civilization might progress, specifically seeking to analyze how they might progress over time, using history as a precedent. Although many science fiction novels such as Nineteen Eighty-Four or Fahrenheit 451 do this, their focus is upon how current trends in society might come to fruition, and act as a moral allegory on the modern world. The Foundation series, on the other hand, looks at the trends in a wider scope, not necessarily looking at what the societies change into, but how they change and adapt."
