Used Book in Good Condition
Just started CS Friedman's This Alien Shore. Female protagonist on the run, from what she doesn't know yet. Set within a far future universe and also entails an exotic computer virus let loose within the systems of the net... as usual very dense in plot and I am getting drawn in so far. Only other novel of her's I have read was In Conquest Born and that was a very good psi-fi/space opera.
Gregory Benford might be to your liking, Eater hits a lot of those old hard SF buttons in particular. The Hyperion Cantos may also do the trick. C.S. Friedman's In Conquest Born and This Alien Shore are favorites that have that classic sci-fi feeling.
I would also give Stephenson another shot.. it's really good stuff, but yeah Snow Crash is a little over-the-top (very much so for the first chapter or two, but it does settle down a good bit). I mean, the main character is named Hiro Protagonist... there's obviously going to be a certain level of tongue-in-cheek, self-aware ridiculousness going on, but it's quite amazing how well he foresaw much of the modern computing world. Cryptonomicon is awesome and is one of those rare books that somehow feels like science fiction even though there's nothing out of the ordinary in it. Anathem and Zodiac are also quite good and more traditional in tone and style.
C.S.Friedman's [In Conquest Born] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0756400430). The societies (one male lead, one female lead) are interesting.
I'll throw out In Conquest Born by C.S. Friedman and The Golden Age series by John C. Wright.

She's normally a Fantasy writer, so I'm guessing the style will appeal to you, and the book is awesome.
