Stephenson's Reamde is a near-future action thriller, which I liked quite a bit.
John Scalzi might be your cuppa. (Caveat: I've only read the Old Man's War trilogy, so that's what I'm basing my judgement on. Also, Fuzzy Nation, but if you want to read that, read the 1960s Little Fuzzy books by H. Beam Piper first, as it's an exercise in retelling the same story in a less 60s sort of a way.)
Charles Stross: In particular, Accelerando and Halting State. I also love his Laundry novels, but you likely would not: they are a modern setting, British bureaucracy meets Lovecraftian unspeakable horrors.
Not my cuppa but I think you might like: Vernor Vinge; Iain M. Banks.
