Daniel Suarez "Daemon" series was fantastic!

His later stuff hasn't lived up to it, although his asteroid mining series is pretty cool.

Tad Williams low key you get no GOT or GRRM without him. If you ever read the memory, sorrow and thorn series of books you basically see where much of the inspiration for GOT came from

To add one I haven't seen: Jane Smiley. I really enjoyed The Greenlanders, A Thousand Acres and Horse Heaven.

I've been loving Andy Weir's space trilogy (The Martian, Artemis, Project Hail Mary). I haven't been able to put his books down, and another one of his stories is currently in production for a film.
