A belated answer:

Air by Geoff Ryman 
This is the 3rd book of his that I've loved.  There were so many literary 
problems that he was able to overcome in this short novel...including the lost 
of viewpoint character for several chapters.

 Gibson's Neuromancer and that was published in 1984, twenty-five years ago! 
  
 
 By-the-by, I am only interested in novel novels - do not summit graphic 
 novels.

Stephen Baxter's Vacuum Diagrams. It's a collection of stories and novellas 
that gives an overview of his Xeelee universe.
