Seveneves. The first sentence is, "The moon blew up suddenly and without warning." Everything is near-future sci-fi and as grounded and accurate as possible. If you liked The Martian, this will scratch the same itch.
Snow Crash is great too. Probably a bit problematic now, but fantastic world building. A bit more gritty and dystopia though.

Both are by Neal Stephenson.
