Okay,

So I really liked Octavia Butler's "Kindred" and books written by Connie Willis.

Is there anyone else that you would recommend in a similar, science fiction genre?

I like revisionist history sci-fi or urban fantasy sci fi, with strong characters and good writing. No space opera stuff, please.

Via friendsfriends; I second the rec for Mieville's stories. I liked his short stories better than Perdido Street Station (and some of them KNOCKED ME OUT).

You might like The Execution Channel by Ken MacLeod. Contemporary, slightly revisionist history, slightly future, post-9/11.

I like Harry Turtledove's alternate history novels; they're easy to read, like candy, not particularly deep.

If you haven't read Audrey Niffenegger's "The Time Traveler's Wife" it might be up your alley.
