Beyond what other people list here: - Hugh Howey. His Silo series is worth a read. He published it in some episodic form. However, I'd recommend just getting the whole thing. Beacon 23 is a bit shorter and also nice. - Ramez Naam. His nexus series is a decent series. Not the best written but I enjoyed it. - James S.A. Corey, the expanse series. Makes you appreciate the tv series more. - Authors others already mentioned: Neal Stephenson & Peter Watts. Other authors that go more in the direction of space opera: Iam M. Banks, Ernest Cline, John Scalzi, Ann Lecky, Richard K. Morgan (Altered Carbon).
