I'm thinking of going on a reading binge (fiction) and am wondering...what are some good tech fiction books out there? I've looked briefly at a couple of Neal Stephenson titles, but I'm not sure if I want to invest time in some of his latest works (some of his titles are around 1,000 pages long, IIRC). What are some other good authors or books?

Momotaro, The Peach Boy
Just finished Building Harlequin's Moon by Larry Niven/Brenda Cooper. Hard SF but character-driven from paragraph one.

Peter F Hamilton nights dawn trilogy. 3 books, 1,000 pages long. Yummy
And nowhere near as self indulgent as Stephenson got.

If you are lookign at contemporary stuff, then the Stephenson book you ant is Cryptonomicon. Not 1000 pages long, and a great read

This might be out of date, but I still love and feel inspired.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" by Arthur C. Clarke
I wonder why Holywood have not re-cast it?
