Query: Smart and techie SF

During my early teen years, I devoured Herbert's Dune series, Asimov (Foundation Trilogy), Niven (Ringworld) and others. Dune was a bit much and I re-read it in my 20's. Loved it dearly. I've been searching for another similar dense, far-reaching, multi-layered SF and with Revelation Space I found it. I won't give much away, but I"ve also read some of his shorter RS related stories and I've really been sucked into the bizarre, macabre, and intricate story lines. Yet, it is the longer form in which Alastair Reynolds shines: a large enough canvas that allows him to paint the complex story I dig. On to Redemption Ark now...
