You listed a great chunk of my favorite authors for sci-fi: Rucker, Stross, Doctorow, and Egan. To that I'd add Ian McDonald and Jeff Noon. Thanks for the spoiler warning for Anathema, too. That's on /my/ giant-pile-to-read for sometime in the future. I remember enjoying Cryptonomicon, reading it right after it came out. Though it was during a summer I was doing hardly anything else, so I finished the entire book in a week! Somehow I don't think I could do that with Anathema. Currently in audio I'm making my way through the Books of Ember, while in dead-tree I'm re-reading the Atrocity Archives, and need to pick up the second Laundry novel--so glad to hear there will be more of these coming soon!
