Any contemporary sci fi authors or novels worth reading?

I recently read Flood and Ark by Stephen Baxter and enjoyed them thoroughly.

Have you read this one? The vampire shit was retarded as fuck.

people who say 'salad' when they just mean 'lettuce' should go kill themselves imo

It's not even a vampire, dipshit. It's a hominid apex predator that, like the Neanderthal, interbred with humans.
Very clever use of superstition to create yet another post-human character.

Annihilation by VanderMeer
The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin
Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee

seriously lettuce is not called salad when you put it on a fucking sandwich. if you call it salad in that context then you are a braindead piece of shit retard who does not deserve to live

What interesting ideas do they present?
For example the main interesting idea behind blindsight is of a super intelligent creature that is nonetheless not self aware.
