Up vote for the Deepness reference! What a great novel, and I suspect the concept of a "programmer archaeologist" would be of interest to many here...

A Fire Upon The Deep is a fantastic book as well.

I loved both of these, any recommendations for other similar books?

I'm a big fan of both and I recently
loved
Diaspora by Greg Egan. It's a bit more heavy on math/physics references but it's still amazing writing and an epic piece of world (and universe) building.

The only one I can think of that's remotely in the ballpark would be Dune. The creativity in AFUTD is hard to match.
