Jack Campbell's work was a good place to start for Hard Sci-fi, I'd suggest having a look at this list of works that helped to define the sub-genre that is "Hard" Science Fiction. Also and particularly at semi-fictional works like Wil McCarthy's Hacking Matter and Larry Niven's Bigger than Worlds which both speak to some mathematically possible but, especially in the case of Hacking Matter, very strange technological possibilities.

Preemptive TV Tropes warning. A lot of stories that use the one big lie format use a lot of hard science around that one big violation of "life as we know it" and are worth a look if you want to look at realistic future tech.
