i love william gibson, douglas adams, terry pratchett, tom holt and as the list of authors still alive appears to be dwindling wondered if anyone can recommend any new authors for me to follow? ive read and liked snow crash, dune, cities in flight if that helps.

I'd suggest Asimov's robot trilogy (1st book is 'the caves of steel') which are easy to read and have great ideas about a world coming to terms with human/robots coexisting.
If you feel like something more intricate, Dan Simmons 'Hyperion' books are a bigger read, but super rewarding once the story starts to play out.
It's been many years since I read them, but both were sci-fi series that marked me at the time.

Iain Banks, with and without the M (ie, general fiction and sci-fi).
Start them in order they were published - latter books are still good but .. I dunno, missing something from his earlier work.
.
I've just realised you said 'new authors', still alive. Banks is a bit of a dead end in that regard.
