A song of Ice and Fire, atleast the first book
Consumed by David Cronenberg - refreshing to read a novel written by a film maker. This is dark and adult, but goes into the nitty-gritty of tech, like why sharing lenses by couples is a bad idea and they are better off getting different brand cameras.
Cibola Burn by James SA Corey - written by the writing assistants of RR Martin, this is like Game of Thrones as a space opera
Turbulence by Samit Basu - Superheroes and mutants in the Indian sub continent. One dude is the internet.
Influx by Daniel Suarez - brilliant, eye on the future, fast paced and action packed with plenty of twists and turns.
Lockstep by Karl Shroeder - young adult fiction, but still well written, this is about an interstellar civilization that manages it by going into synced hibernation. Essentially, humanity experiences the effects of faster than light travel without faster than light travel.
Afterparty by Daryl Gregory - Adult themes, but uses the natural progression of contemporary technology. One plot point is cheap 3d printers. Fun read.
Annihiliation by Jeff VanderMeer - Scary and eerie, similar to the works of HP Lovecraft. This one really gets the atmosphere so well, that you will dread turning the pages.
All except Turbulence were released in the last few months.
will post books for the list soon.
My most recommended titles would be
Being Digital
The coming race
Climbing mount improbable
Azazel
Tales before Tolkein : The Roots of Modern Fantasy
The Fortress of the Pearl
Airman
A fall of moondust
Black Swan Green
The Magic Furnace : The search for the origins of Atoms
The universe next door
The Island of Dr. Moreau
Mafia Queens of Mumbai
The Wildlife of India by EP Gee
The Light of Other Days
The World according to Garp
World Without End
Nightfall
The Man Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag
The Nanotech Chronicles
