I like so-called "hard sci-fi", where effort is made into thinking through the details and the sci-fi bit is not just a backdrop for a regular story, or a way to validate neuroses du jour. Both of these are definitely in my top-10 sci-fi books of all time.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

I'm an odd one and didn't enjoy Project Hail Mary. If you're like me I'd recommend Blindsight by Peter Watts
