Really good stuff, both epic in scale and fairly hard scifi.
The Ringworld Series is pretty interesting.
Rendezvous with Rama is a classic.
Standing on Zanzibar for something a bit more highbrow.
The Neuromancer Trilogy for that Cyberpunk edge (or the Bridge Trilogy which is a whole vibe)
The Cryptonomicon, although that might not be considered scifi?
Snow Crash is pretty fun too

Strange guy and somewhat inconsistent, but a conceptual genius. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is my favorite scifi novel for how thematically relevant it is to the modern human experience.
Slaughterhouse Five is amazing but only vaguely qualifies as scifi

he writes what i like to call "thoughtful sci-fi" - you could read the story that the movie arrival is based on, story of your life - another one that i liked was tower of babylon
anyway he has two books with short stories which will definitely make you think
