For recent-ish there is Tad William's Otherland Series. Surreal not-so-distant future with a bit of William Gibson-esque sci-fi flavour.

Joe Haldeman is one of my favourite sci-fi authors. He does a really job of ending books with amazing questions on ethics and morality and you don't even notice it. He wrote The Forever War as his most famous work, but An Accidental Time Machine, one of his more recent works was enjoyable as well.
I really enjoy Haldeman's Confederacion universe. One of my Favs, though it is pretty short, is All My Sins Remembered.
EE "Doc" Smith is good stuff if you are a fan of old pulp Sci Fi from back in the day.

Harry Harrison is good:
Deathworld trilogy is good, if you enjoyed the Stainless Steel rat stories..Jason dinAlt is a very similar character to "Slippery" Jim DiGriz but still a good read. The Hammer and the Cross/One King's Way/King and Emperor
is very cool speculative history/fiction. I have too many to list I think, so I will leave it at those choices for now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
