Arthur C Clarke is an excellent author and the Rama series is one of my all-time favourites. I'd recommend anything by Philip K Dick, though honestly I think a good reference would be to pick works listed in the SF Masterworks collection, it's how I found many of my favourite SF novels.

If you fancy venturing into modern SF classics, my favourites are by Peter F Hamilton, Iain M Banks and William Gibson; though does Gibson count? He doesn't even have a middle initial ๐Ÿ˜„

O'Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden ๐Ÿ˜„

Stone cold classic.

SpoilerGhost in the Machine: Stand Alone Complex

Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn't enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.
