Are there any other sci-fi books that have a setting like Book Of The New Sun? I really love Urth and the Commonwealth and its blend of low tech and high tech, its basically medieval setting with hidden pockets of absurd sci-fi tech lurking around waiting to be found. I can see why Wolfe preferred to call it "science fantasy." Even apart from the apparent reality of magic, the setting has the feel of a fantasy setting, it's just the "magic" is extremely advanced technology.

Any other books or book series that have this sort of setting and vibe?

Vance is alright at best but I'll check out the other 2

Vance kind of sucks, though. He's intriguing and admittedly really funny, but he's 100% lacks the literary chops of Wolfe.

Vampire Hunter D has magic and future sci-fi

many such cases that when a single work so beautifully overtakes a genre the other works fall away into relative obscurity.

Vance is pulp trash. Wolfe's work transcends its genre.

These memes you post are too funny to not have been made by a Wolfe fan. Every time I see them I usually share them with other fans.
