I would recommend the Hugo Award winning novel "The Three Body Problem", a book which harkens back to the classic era of science fiction. 

While the prose leaves much to be desired and the characters can be one-dimensional, the grand ambition in its ideas regarding first contact and the innovativeness of its world-building more than makes up for it. 

Happy reading!
