68/ Singularity Sky, Charles Stross A future warblogger encounters omnipotent AI, time travel, posthumans, and more. Stross dumped 20 years of ideas into this + sequel, and it's overflowing. avoid Accelerando (the economic ideas of which I mock in passing in my novels)

77/ The Star Fraction and "sequels" by Ken Macleod. Like KSR's Three Californias, it presents different possible futures. Very political, in a libertarian / Trotskyist (!!!) direction.

78/ Newton's Wake, by Ken Macleod. After the singularity, those left behind try to figure out the world.

79/ The Quantum Thief, by Hannu Rajaniemi. Another post Singularity novel which, I confess, I didn't 100% understand. I need to go back and re-read it and its sequels. Very intense, and doing something very new and different.

80/ Permutation City by Greg Egan. Infinite life inside an infinite simulation leads to some very weird social patterns.

The Postman is an interesting look at how all the "little things" that ordinary people do help hold our civilization together. One of the few books to actually make me cry, a little.
