"children of time" & the sequel "children of ruin" by Adrian Tchaikovsky; sci-fi with AIs, uplifted species, uploaded personalities, space travel et al. Very entertaining, and quite optimistic, compared to a lot of stuff I'd been reading recently. (I discovered it by someone's comment on HN, by the way.)
