Hmm... sounds like you like hard scifi/cyberpunk. Personally I don't care for either of the authors you mentioned. I think Orson Scott Card has some brilliant stuff (Ender's Game) and Connie Willis is fairly unknown but absolutely great. Her works sometimes resemble Heinlein's and she is clearly a fan, one of her books is dedicated to him! She wrote Doomsday Book, a time travel story, and To Say Nothing of the Dog, a time travelling romance Victorian mystery with a side trip to the Blitz. Absolutely a hilarious novel, and well written to boot. Her latest book was Passage, another brilliant work. Other than that... well, Heinlein's dead and most new stuff is trash.
