I recently got A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.(no kindle version). I have been reading some steampunk of late but I have found that there is a lack of "Science" science fiction.
When I go to the library and look for new SciFi I see a plethora of fantasy (which I do like) but when I look for SciFi I want SciFi. So... suggestions? comments?

if you liked Cryptonomicon, read the Baroque trilogy. it is AMAZING

His second trilogy, the Bridge series is also good. They are Virtual Light, Idoru and All Tomorrow's Parties.

WG's Bigend books are good too: Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, and Zero History
Oh! And Verner Vinge's Rainbow's End!
