| I recently read and liked Hugh Howrey's Silo saga, Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence books, Neil Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane, and Ian Tregellis's Something More than Night. I also enjoyed Neal Stephenson's Reamde and China Mieville's The City and the City. Any suggestions for more smart, original, maybe a little under the radar science fiction? |
| I also just finished the Silo series and enjoyed it. You might try Oryx and Crake-- it's the first book in a triology that I loved. Great writing, very interesting and believable. |

More Stephenson (Cryptonomicon, maybe Snow Crash and Diamond Age)
Nick Harkaway (Angelmaker, Gone Away World) Daniel O'Malley's the Rook Maybe Mira Grant's newsflesh trilogy. |

Glass Books of the Dream Eaters, by Gordon Dahlquist
Death of the Necromancer and related Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy by Martha Wells Read any Gene Wolfe yet? |
| Just wondering, do you mean new as in recent or new to you? I kind of prefer classic sci-fi authors - Asimov, Bradbury, Frank Herbert, Arthur C Clark, Le Guin, etc. I haven't kept up with the more modern works. |

Second vote for Oryx and Crake- first in an excellent trilogy. I enjoyed Ready Player One- it's not for everyone, but I loved it.
