I love how his stories grow in scope (one discovery plausibly leads to another and eventually interdimensional travel). I know Adrian Tchaikovsky is a popular recommendation around here (especially Children of Time and rightfully so), but I'm looking for something with less drama / less character-driven. The 3 body problem is a good example.
Also tangential but I recommend trying Last and First Idol for anyone looking for ridiculous, gory, self-consistent sci-fi.
