If you like A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge then I'd recommend Neil Stephenson's Anathem, because it has that epic space opera type feel. However, it is hard to get into, but if you liked A Fire Upon the Deep because of the technology aspect then I'd recommend The Diamond Age and Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson. These books are much easier reads (personally, I liked them both a lot more than Anathem).
Another one I keep telling people to read is Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress. It was originally released as a novella, and the novella won the Hugo Award and Nebula Award. I've only read the novel and its sequels, but they are excellent. Great characters in a future world based on nanotechnology. She is an outstanding author.
