"Electric Sheep" by John Scalzi is a very humorous play on Dick's wonderful "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". Anathem is good, but Snow Crash & Diamond Age equally as good, & have faster pacing. "The Hostile Takeover Trilogy", everything written by William Gibson, "The Electric Church", Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, The original Dune series, most of Cory Doctrow's stuff (Little Brother was a stretch, but most everything else was good; "Down & Out in the magic kingdom" is a good start). If you like Hard Sci Fi, the "Hard SciFi renaissance" is a great collection of works, including Arthur C. Clarke, and it's heavy on Science, which is pretty neat.
