Check out Freedom™, the sequel to Daemon, by Daniel Suarez. Daemon is a pretty good (occasionally farfetched) techno-thriller. But the sequel turns it all around and becomes - like nothing else I've read since Starship Troopers - a manifesto for an optimistic revolution. It was written in 2010 - 7 years ago! - yet it seems completely up-to-date on modern, and emerging, tech. That's an indication of good science fiction. Imagine a mix of 'enabling' technologies: augmented reality, Tor, crypto-currencies, OpenBazaar, SciHub, AI, with the open source hacker ethic. There's enough ambiguity in characters and situations to make the reader think. And so many sections had me nodding appreciatively or hooting with laughter. I'd love to see a good discussion on HN of the vision and tech in Freedom™.
