Going to put my 2 cents and Five Pounds Sterling in here as well. Probably in descending order of my favourites, actually!
As recommended elsewhere, the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons, comprised of four books (in two Omnibuses (Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion and Endymion, Rise of Endymion) are an excellent read. One of my all-time favourites.
Spares, by Michael Marshall Smith, is a weird one. Maybe not pure-Scifi, but definitely something to look at.
Altered Carbon, by Richard Morgan, is a dark, violent read but with a compelling protagonist. Contains possible the best revenge scene ever. Not for the squeamish. Grips you from the very first page.
Unto Leviathan (known in the US as "Ship of Fools") by Richard Paul Russo, is one of the two books that I've finished in one sitting (the other being The Fall of Hyperion). Brilliant page turner. Just don't expect things to get wrapped up neatly at the end.
Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds. Great standalone book, but once again too many questions left at the end! But I guess that's the point!
Eon by Greg Bear is quite hard Sci-Fi, but if that's your thing you'll love it.
Marrow by Robert Reed has some wonderful ideas, but is sadly not the most well written book in the world. A spaceship as big as Jupiter, inhabited by thousands of different alien species, ruled over by immortal humans who have discovered something hidden in the core of the ship. The story spans thousands of years. Can drag a little in the middle, but definitely worth a look at, if only for the concepts presented.
Think it's time to dig some of these out and give them another read. Maybe after some sleep...
It's 4:30am here, so I appreciate my descriptions have added nothing of value, hence the links. The links aren't affiliated or anything like that, they're just there for Redditor's perusal. ;)

It's a tale of tales, culminating in everything sci-fi fans love (or apparently hate).
It has some cyberpunk elements, it has amazing sceneries, characters and story.
Dan Simmons' Hyperion is an excellent sci fi series. Highly recommended. It is perhaps one of the best (ranked with Dune, Foundation, and LOR in terms of its bold quality).
