I really like Peter Watts. Blindsight is the closest thing to a contemporary 2001 IMO.

Echopraxia isn't as good but is still solid. It features monks who attain an enlightened, super-intellignet hive mind by having their brains replaced with controlled tumor-brains so that they're literally sentient cancer. It's interesting because I believe there is a theory that cancer might be some weird form of competitive evolution on the cellular level. Not so far fetched if you understand endosymbiont theory.

Ring by Baxter is pretty badass. Also Infoquake.

I read a lot of it as a teenager and have recently been coming back to it. It's a completely different experience to reading literature but it's very enjoyable nonetheless
