Ted Chiang writes some amazing stuff. "Lifecycle of Software Objects" is a personal favourite.

All his short stories are worth reading. My favourites are this one, Story of Your Life, and Tower of Babylon.

I couldn't stand Story of Your Life. I felt it made no sense from a physics point of view, and if you're not going to do that then why write science fiction at all? (Whereas I very much enjoyed Lifecycles of Software Objects)
