The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks

Nearly all of the culture books! The very first scene of the very first book, Consider Phlebas, just sets the bar so high (and is only one scene). It outdoes entire other works of horror in just half a chapter... and then the actual action starts.

Great book as well. Of all the sci-fi universes, The Culture is the one I want to live in the most.
