I asked this question a few months back and had a ton of replies. I'll leave a link to the thread and highlight my two favourite books so far.

Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky "Evolutionary storytelling". It tells the story of an entire civilization as it grows and evolves from nothing, whilst simultaneously telling a story that takes place over a much more conventional timescale. Very good book IMO, with two slightly-less-strong sequals

Idaho Winter - Tony Burgess What a bizarre book this was. I don't know if it's a good book, but it was weird and kept me entertained so that's good enough for me.

Spoiler for what made it weird

The author gets dragged into the story at one point and becomes a character in the book by accident
