Anathem by Neal Stephenson. Firm SF that focuses on the adventures of a mathematician monk. Science in the world of Anathem is still science, but it has a quasi-mystical culture built around it. It’s a long, slow-building book but eventually has plenty of action and rationality alike. The ending is the highlight.
