Yes!

And yes!

I would add Robert Charles Wilson. Spin is awesome. Also, I agree Snow Crash is so great, but I didn't care for Stephenson after that.Oh! And I almost forgot, no one has mentioned Orson Scott Card. Read Ender's Game, by all means! In fact it would be a very good introduction to the genre, since it is a little less complex than some of the ones we've all been endorsing. Though it does grapple with some pretty heavy moral issues. Great, great book. Cheers!
