Robert Sheckley's short stories and "Immortality, Inc." are wonderful, although the latter is quite heavy-themed, discussing mortality and suicide at length.
Isaac Asimov's commonly hailed for his "I, Robot" book series, but "The End of Eternity" is a nice rumination on near-singularity future and time travel.
Arthur C. Clarke's "The Songs of Distant Earth" is bittersweet and gorgeous, as I remember it.
Harry Harrison's "West of Eden" is a lengthy read, but features some amazing alternative history world-building, with advanced civilized dinosaurs encountering the first hunter-gatherer humans for the first time.
Beside that, I haven't read much good sci-fi, I'm afraid. I loved Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues..."; reading it a great way for a kid to fall in love with the sea forever. I wish there were more popular works of fiction abour exploring finding a way to settle the ocean.
I've only just looked really closely at the inverted building over the characters' heads, and noticed the blurry flying car traffic lines -- beautiful and brilliant of you!
Also, the place seems to be an O'Neill cyclinder, with the part of the space city closer to the viewer forming a countinuous curving habitat with the skyscrapers above.
The spaceship moving through the space between the habitats is a great reference point, and it looks breathtaking!
Outstanding piece of art, this. Thank you for it!
