The Windup Girl is different kind of apocalyptic tale, won the hugo and nebulla awards. Hard sci fi with a very human touch.
The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi and The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi are both amazing, deep, engrossing books with worlds of their own. I cannot recommend them enough.
Also, China Mieville's books are pretty awesome, though more urban fantasy than SciFi. Still worth a read.
This is the cover art to The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi. Awesome book. The book is not Deiselpunk, more post-peak energy Sci-Fi.
Popping back in to check the list of books (some good stuff in here!) and surprised not to see The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi. He also wrote Pump Six (short stories, some very good), Ship Breaker (aimed at juveniles, but still fun) and The Alchemist (ok, I guess).
The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi might be what you're looking for.
This reminds me of the book The Wind-Up Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi. It's all about a future Bangkok pretty much underwater. Awesome contemporary sci-fi.
The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi
You've probably read it, but I highly recommend Gene Wolfe's classic, 'The Book of the New Sun'
On a side note, The book "Windup Girl" goes into the premise of a world run by "calorie companies" that control food supplies.
Edit: can't wright this morning need more coffee.
