RJS is one of my favourite writers and I class him as being kind of like Isaac Asimov (but with better characterization for his characters; Asimov could be a bit cardboard with his in service of playing out the ideas in his plots).

He's got some free short stories to try up at his website. I'd say that The Hand You're Dealt, Identity Theft, You See But You Do Not Observe, and Just Like Old Times are his best, but The Shoulders of Giants and Star Light, Star Bright are closest to the flavour of the WWW books.
