Steven Gould wrote a few other books _Wildside_ (very much in the same line as _Jumper; postulate a technology/ability and then fully explore what that would mean in the protagonist's interaction with society) and _Blind Waves_ and _Helm_ which I also liked, and in which tech plays a central role, but not quite in the same push-the-envelope way as the other two.
You might like Robert Sawyer--I thought his _Farseer_ books in particular were excellent (trilogy of intelligent dinosaurs discovering various sciences), though I like his other books too.
A bit more of a reach would be Sherri S. Tepper--her books focus on the ramifications of different social arrangements; some of the social engineering she posits is...startling... but I always enjoy her books.
