I've been a bit burnt out on spiritually themed books lately and I'm getting back into sci-fi. I really enjoyed Iain M. Bank's novel The Player of Games. It's about an empire where the hierarchy is based on a complex board game played every 5 years. An expert game player from a different civilization is allowed to enter in the games and this upsets the balance of the whole society. Pretty interesting and engaging story
