Some great choices on there! Love Ted Chiang, and the Annihilation trilogy.
I read Left Hand of Darkness for the first time recently and enjoyed it, though I get your point about the density of details. I read Foundation long enough ago (I was probably about 12) that I took the detail as a matter of course.
Another classic that I read recently is Stanisław Lem’s Solaris. Also sometimes dense, but well worth reading.

Thanks for the rec, adding Solaris to my list!
