Hope you read the entire Three body problem trilogy as I'm not quite sure how well it stands by reading only the first book as it's been a while since I've read them, but it's a brilliant trilogy. Totally agree with you on Permutation City, really awesome. And as somebody else already suggested, you should really read Diaspora for some more Greg Egan goodness. I have some generic sci-fi recommendations, although some are probably not considered "hard" sci-fi and most are pretty well known but here they are anyway. - Children of Time/Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky - Hyperion by Dan Simmons - Accelerando by Charles Stross - House of Suns/Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds - Pandora's Star/Judas Unchained by Peter Hamilton - The Bobiverse series by Dennis E.
