The Australian author Greg Egan does dense future science speculative fiction really well. Try "Permutation City" or "Diaspora"...

Egan has a new one out atm. Paul J McAuley is also very good. Try "Fairyland" if you haven't already.

Woot! My hold on a library book was finally fulfilled. I want to buy the book, but it's $19, so I'll sample it first.

I've got the audiobook, but I haven't been listening to audiobooks. I'm greedy. I want fast information!

And my Audible subscription is up for renewal. They're offering the first year for $85. I'm tempted.
