No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

Hard to be a God
Futuristic earth scientists are secretly studying life on a medieval planet, disguised as local nobility. One of these scientists struggles to remain aloof while the king and his minister enact a progrom against those intellectuals who history would otherwise remember as the geniuses of their era.
When a coup against the government brings even more violence and brutality, this scientist is pushed to his limit.
This novel also spawned two pretty good film adaptations.
