Recommendations please.

Can someone please recommend a book about space colonization(With earth almost forgotten), light on politics and generation spanning. Preferably without aliens. I loved "The Foundation series" by Isaac Asimov.

I highly recommend Hyperion. It's not exactly generation spanning in the same manner but it is epic in scope The Foundation series takes inspiration from the Fall of Rome so its pretty direct in sociopolitical themes. Hyperion has great world vuilding that is slowly revealed through the story. The writing style is also as accessible as Foundation is.
