Seriously - I want to talk to you guys about Altered Carbon...
That was like - Rambo in the future.....
??You guys really enjoyed putting yourself in there like that???
I had this sort of constant disconnect from the main character because he was just so manly and brutal...
You guys really get that pumped over being schwarzenegger?
I never really pegged you guys like that...
I thought you guys were like...more herbacious

I would recommend "I, Robot", The Robot Series (4 books), and his most famous work, the Foundation Series (Original Trilogy + Extended series, 7 books total).
Another good book is Earth by David Brin. The timeframe is about 50 years in the future (being written in 1970, events occur around year 2020), and a large focus of this book is the long-term effects of the industrialized society on the environment and future society.

I think Asimov should've been mentioned in the older thread that I linked. Foundation was originally a single book, this was extended by a further 3 books much later. I have not bothered touching the new books written by other people.
David Brin's an all-round good writer. His Uplift series ranks as one of my favourite sci fi series ever.
i got quite a way through Contact by Carl Sagan which is one of my fav films but abandoned it like everything else ive read this year. it's really lovely though, need to read more by him

Meh, I had hopes. I still haven't read it yet.
Lobsang is a wanker of a character and the whole book just feels unfinished and rushed, it's got good ideas but meh.. doesn't really work. It isn't so bad that it's unreadable it just leaves you feeling disappointed.

That seems to be quite common in Baxter's collaborative works, they just seem lacklustre and half baked. Was the same with all the books he wrote with Arther C Clarke.
