I get my sci-fi fix these days from Iain Banks,,, I think I have read everything he has written,,, shit is dope. Recently finished The Algebraist which blew me away.

Before that was Lunar Park by Brett Easton Ellis which was great.
... and before that was Glamorama by Brett Easton Ellis which was also great.
