Greg Egan has some really great books if you're autistic enough to enjoy scifi that reads like a physics textbook, especially his Orthogonal and Dichronauts series are autistic as fuck but very enjoyable. He has a bunch of supplementary material on his website that should give you an idea of what you're in for, like

Some of his other books are pretty good too, especially House of Suns and Pushing Ice I enjoyed.
