Works of fiction delving into advanced scientific notions?


What works of fiction do you know that delve deep into advanced scientific notions? For example, I can think of books by Neal Stephenson (especially Anathem which delves into the intricacies of some (far-fetched) quantum theories), or Blindsight by Peter Watts.

Stephenson’s Seveneves brought Gerard K. O’Neill’s High Frontier orbital habitats alive. There was a report Ron Howard was going to make a big-budget movie out of it.

For advanced science and math integral to the story, I don’t know of anyone who does it deeper or better than Greg Egan.
