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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?
