Iain M Banks' Culture books are pretty far future stuff. I really enjoy (some of) them. Use of Weapons and Excession are good. Matter I didn't like as much.

Dune was a good recommendation. Just finished Charles Stross "Accelerando" which was great... it is far future in subjective time if not in terms of traditional chronology

Matter was sort of hit and miss with me, so far of the books that i've read of his my favorite has been The Algebraist.

Only Culture books I've read are Matter and Pattern Recognition. I feel like Matter was pretty good, but Pattern Recognition seemed to touch on more interesting subjects than the main plot and never realized them XD
If you can't jam with the best, then you have to slam with the rest.
