Stephenson's "Zodiac" is pretty excellent - one of the great first books by any author I've read. "Cryptonomicon" by Stephenson is a damn fine read too. I'm reading the middle book of his latest opus, "The Baroque Cycle" - a challenging read, but fantastic so far. "The Diamond Age" was a great book too.
Richard Morgan is pretty good too. "Altered Carbon" and "Broken Angels" - if you like science fiction.
If you like science fiction try Alastair Reynolds - start with "Revelation Space" - possibly the best 'hard' science fiction novel written in the last 20 years.
Course, I like trashy military SF for fun reading. ;-}
