I'm not sure that Baen is a publisher whose taste matches yours.
While I've enjoyed most of the books listed so far, they are more martial in tone than your listed favourites. Also, a lot of them lean towards American conservative ideals, which also doesn't seem to feature in your list of faves.
That said, you might try:
Wizard's Bane, and Wizardry Compiled by Rick Cook
In this series, magic is activated by a process very similar to computer programming. A computer hacker from our universe finds out that he is a master wizard in the magical universe.
In writing style, Rick Cook reminds me a bit of Rudy Rucker.
Fallen Angels by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Michael Flynn
No world-shaking new concepts, and not much computing, this is a story of astronauts fallen from space into a US which has turned its back on scientific research and intellectualism. This is an "if this goes on" tale somewhat in the vein of Heinlein's Future History.
I assume you are familiar with both Niven and Pournelle.
