If you feel this way about the works of Neal Stephenson, might I suggest Cixin Liu?

Though well-done in it's own right, the 3-Body Problem Netflix series does not quite do justice to the intricacy of Liu's writing in the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy. You might find the change of pace to be somewhat jarring in comparison to Stephenson but it fulfills a similar enjoyment of Science Fiction.

I enjoyed 3 body problem. I found the sequels more of a collection of sci fi tropes than a good coherent story. You will get better original thoughts from David Brin, Stephen Baxter and Vernor Vinge

I read 3BP and loved the series.

While not very high quality as literary works, the books are products of originality, and deep thought.

I just appreciate that these books were written down.

I kind of liked Exhalation by Ted Chiang.

I have planned to read other works by Cixin Liu, and check out Ken Liu's works.

Great suggestion, by the way.
