I highly recommend Ted Chiang. I really enjoyed "Story of your Life" available in this short story collection of the same name: http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang/dp/193...
Some of the stuff is a but uneven but he's written some of the most thought-provoking sci-fi I've read in some time.

That story is in Stories of Your Life and Others; I'd recommend the whole collection: http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang/dp/193...

Someone who never appears on these list but is one of the rising stars in Scif-Fi isis Ted Chiang. He's not written a full length novel yet but his short stories and novellas are mind blowing, best stuff I're read since early Egan. Check out:
Stories of Your Life and Others http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Ted-Chiang/dp/193152...)
The Lifecycle of Software Objects* http://www.amazon.com/Lifecycle-Software-Objects-Ted-Chiang/...
*if there's a more HN title for a novella ever I haven't heard of it!
Can we please not post links to stolen (presumably-)copyrighted materials here?
If you'd like to compensate the author, consider buying the collection it's published in: http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang/dp/193...
