/lit/ - Literature

Guys I'm sorry to ask this but I really need recommendations for sci-fi. My life at the moment involves reading and dealing with some pretty heavy corporate law and I need to read something beyond my usual history, biography or non-fiction.
Thing is I'm picky as fuck.
>I love old classic sci-fi. Anything pre 1980 is great. However I feel like I've read all of it.
>I don't mind cyberpunk
>I don't like genre fiction
>I have no interest in read a 12 book series of doorsteps about someone's donut steel OC
>I can't read anything with gay furry space muslims being oppressed by the ebil Orange Emperor Clump
>if my mind gets a sense that the book was written simply because we needed another "diverse" voice I'll get sick.
>I will throw the book across the room if I see another one dimensional stronk wymon
>Cod Latin the Space Marine is right out.

All I want is a sense of wonder and possibly some explosions. It seems like modern sci-fi doesn't really cater to that at all any more.
The last thing I really enjoyed was the Sector General series by James Whyte. Before that was Wyndhams triffids some of his other work.

>also willing to discuss why my taste in books and authors makes me feel sort of guilty in 2018.
