*** Alastair Reynolds - Revelation Space. Interesting and carefully thought-out universe. Some great and compelling characters, though several of the elements driving the story never really convinced me. I’d like to read more of his writing.

"The Anubis Gates" is a really early book of Powers' - his later books are better written, although still not capital-L Literature. I recommend "Last Call", which involves a crazy mixture of poker, Las Vegas, the Tarot, chaos theory, the Grail legend, and probably a dozen other things I've forgotten.
