Great list! I've read only a couple of them. Hyperion was intriguing but Fall of Hyperion was too slow for my tastes. Snowcrash was great. One of my favorite audiobook narrations too! You might also like Malazan Book of the Fallen and Discworld. Malazan especially is a masterpiece of world and history building. Oh, and the Ghost in the Shell series would definitely be a great fit for you. A good start would be the original animated film from the mid-90s. If you enjoy that, jump to the anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
