I usually agree with other posts here that too much science makes for fiction that I enjoy less. Blindsight was an exception for me. I liked the science ideas and the fiction.

If you like this kind of thing you may also like Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear. He wrote an article about the science ideas here: http://gregbear.com/pages/newbiology.php

I didn't enjoy this one as much, but the hard-science part was done fairly well.
