We still have only a few sample styles, see http:// 
wiki.contextgarden.net/Sample_documents

None of them is suitable for a technical book, but I can't imagine  
some "TechBookStyle" that would suit the needs of a lot of different  
topics.
So as always with ConTeXt, you're on your own regarding design -  
freedom is always a task.

I'd suggest to sketch your layout on paper and then transfer it to  
ConTeXt. If you need help, look at the wiki or ask here.
