Book recommendations (lemm.ee)

I love books about advanced technologies that aren't real (you know, made up in those books). Not sure if that is just science fiction or not, but I love books that talk about technologies that don't exist and are fascinating. Please give me some names of books that kept you interested, immersed and amazed.
Thank you

Seconding Gibson.

See also Max Barry. Not really tech heavy…

Also Andy Weir. The Martian and Project Hail Mary

The Martian is a very good book, but I'm not sure it really fits what OP is looking for. Kind of the selling point of that book is that there are no made up technologies. It's all doable with what we have right now.
