      Second the short stories. Axiomatic has some great ones too with concepts that really stuck with me.

      And if you like that, Phase Space by Stephen Baxter feels very similar.

      Stephen Baxter's Phase Space. If those short stories, especially the ones with Reid Malenfant, grab you, then read the Manifold series. If you find yourself wishing it was more Alastair Reynolds, then the Xeelee Sequence.

      There's also a short story by Stephen Baxter in Phase Space (a very excellent collection) called Dante Dreams where a researcher becomes aware of the dreaming consciousness of her own organelles.
