What esoteric sci-fi novels would you recommend? Like The Incal, Dune, The Metabarons… you know, that kind of style? (I'd prefer they weren't graphic novels tho)

I think this one made Cordwainer Smith my favorite scifi author. The rest of his Instrumentality stories are worth reading too, though I think only pic related really qualifies as "esoteric".

I wouldn't call them esoteric per se, but I highly recommend the novels of Greg Egan as science fiction stories that are about dealing with different questions of the nature of reality.
