The Fold - Peter Clines - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23164927-the-fold

Well written, without too much hand-wavery and awesome twist in the middle.

Been working through Drew Hayes' "Super Powereds" series... nothing ground breaking, but it is light and entertaining.

On the more hard scifi end of the spectrum, anything by Peter Watts. Blindsight and the follow-up Echophraxia are truly fantastic, entertaining, and head-scratchingly interesting in the concepts on display.

I read a ton, and without a doubt, one of the best sci-fi books I've read in the last 10 years is "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Read it. Seriously. Runner-up might be "Spaceman of Bohemia" by Jaroslav Kalfar.

Assuming that modern means very recent, I very much enjoyed Neal Stephenson's Seveneves.
