Karl Schroeder and Greg Egan. That book isn't even out yet! I assume it was ePUBized from the excerpt available on the author's website. Excellent taste, Mr. Corbet, on both counts. I consider Diaspora the sf novel with the highest ideas-to-page-count ratio ever.

The Clockwork Rocket

Clockwork Rocket is out, actually; I nearly bought the dead-trees version but held off; later I found it much cheaper in the electronic format.

Damn you for pointing me at that! Now I'm digging through his ridiculously comprehensive information pages rather than doing any work. (Is there anyone else in the SF world who shows his working to this degree? Hal Clement, Poul Anderson, and, more recently, Peter Watts all do it to some degree, but nothing like *this*.)
