1 - Iain M Banks' "Culture" novels.  Not strictly a series, per se, more like a collection of stories in the same continuity, in a similar vein to Niven's "Known Space" but with a wider scope, a longer timeline and a very definite left wing slant.  For me, Banks will always win because he was, beyond a doubt, the very best writer in the English Language for several generations. 

2 - Altered Carbon - Richard Morgan.  Again, a definite leftist/anti corporate set of stories, set in a not-too-distant future.  Global hypercapitalist corporatism rules, everyone bows to the almighty dollar/yen/pound/credit.  Shares a title with the cop out Netflix show but not really much DNA.   Morgan's (very few) flaws as a writer are more than made up for by his pace and the ability to depict absolute mayhem beautifully.  Reading these, I get the feeling the lad has seen some real action, not just read about it.

3 - Dune -  Frank Herbert.  Someone once named it "The Fastest Tanking Series Ever" but - the additional volumes by his son and Anderson aside, a well written (mostly) and well thought out story line.  Shame about the ongoing retcons but oh well.  Probably a bit too wordy and nerdy for some, and (it seems at times) a bit too up himself about how clever he is, they're nevertheless a serious addition to anyone's collection.  Top tip:  Avoid the books written by his son and Kevin J Anderson; they are utter trash.

I'm surprised to see so many Dune fans.

The last thing I read was books about promotion on a social network like Instagram. I'm just an entrepreneur on the web and I'm carefully studying strategies for social media in order to get it right. So, the last thing I read was Alexandra Mitroshina with her success story.
