I'm just on the first Culture series book, it's a lot more goofy and fun than I thought it would be.
The consumerist depiction of the future that springs to my mind is the one in Cloud Atlas where consumption levels are mandated and humanity lives in a giant dome that scours the toxic wasteland of earth gobbling up the resources.
Culture series means a lot to me. Take your time and enjoy.
I'll have to pick it back up again, I think I'm at the (no spoilers) part just after the damage game so not too far in.
