Karl Schroeder recommends

The Risen Empire (2003)
(Succession, book 1)
Scott Westerfeld
"The Risen Empire is full of relentless and addictive action which is supported by some truly wild ideas. Westerfeld's blend of traditional space opera and cutting-edge speculation makes this a truly twenty-first century SF novel."

The Promise of the Child (2015)
(Amaranthine Spectrum, book 1)
Tom Toner
"One of the most ambitious and epic-scale pieces of worldbuilding I’ve read."

Wilders (2017)
(Project Earth, book 1)
Brenda Cooper
"Wilders is a vision of future America that's by turns exhilarating and terrifying. With a heroine you can genuinely root for and a world that's an all-too-likely outcome of our generation's choices, Wilders is one of the best near-future adventures in years."

A Half-Built Garden (2022)
Ruthanna Emrys
"Emrys' fast-paced and fun story paints a picture of a future that's imaginable within our lifetimes. Hers is a unique and ultimately hopeful vision of the world we might bequeath to our grandchildren."
