Altered Carbon is exactly what you’re looking for.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson has that big, loud 90s energy. It’s chaotic and fun in the best way.
Old Man’s War by John Scalzi also scratches that action-heavy sci-fi itch. Super readable.
If you want something darker and grittier, The Gone World feels like Terminator meets True Detective.

Matthew Reilly Ice Station (1st in the Scarecrow series)
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GLOBE,
Anarctica is the last unconquered continent, a murderous expanse of howling winds, blinding whiteouts and deadly crevasses. On one edge of Antarctica is Wilkes Station. Beneath Wilkes Station is the gate to hell itself…IN THE COLDEST PLACE ON EARTH, A team of U.S. divers, exploring three thousand feet beneath the ice shelf has vanished. Sending out an SOS, Wilkes draws a rapid deployment team of Marines-and someone else…THE HEAT IS ON…
First comes a horrific firefight. Then comes a plunge into a drowning pool filled with killer whales. Next comes the hard part, as a handful of survivors begin an electrifying, red-hot, non-stop battle of survival across the continent and against wave after wave of elite military assassins-who’ve all come for one thing: a secret buried deep beneath the ice…

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline please do not judge the book by the movie. The book is so much better.
