(all sci fi)

Robert Charles Wilson: Spin. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/910863.Spin

Geoff Ryman: Air: Or, Have Not Have. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/206662.Air

Karl Schroeder, Lady of Mazes. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34009.Lady_of_Mazes

All three of those are absolutely terrific, and came from this wonderful 2013 article by Jo Walton: “Eight Books From the Last Decade That Made Me Excited About SF“. Every book on that list that I’ve read has been top-notch. It’s the best sci fi reading list I’ve encountered in a very long time, and I’m having a lot of fun working my way through it. She’s done a similar one for fantasy, too, which started me rereading Daniel Abraham’s Long Price Quartet, which is great in a totally different way.
