For sheer entertainment value: I've just finished KC Alexander's two "SINless" books - Necrotech and Nanoshock. Both were excellent reads. Nothing heavy, just some extremely filthy and brutal transhumanist SciFi with a hint of cyberpunk in there too (not enough to make it that genre). Fast, frantic, gritty.

Great writing by a young bi-polar feminist writer with a great future.

Also, the introduction and the first few chapters of "Letters from the Desert" by Carlo Carretto.
