On a tangent, is diaspora any good? I have it but haven’t started reading it.

  Yep, it's good. It starts off with a really cool description of the process by which a synthetic mind is created from scratch and thrown into a community of other minds (both synthetic and post-human uploaded consciousnesses). The rest of it was good too, but that was a memorable moment for me.

  Dispora is my all time favorite. Highly recommended. I've read it cover to cover twice, and plan to do again soon. Reading diaspora, especially towards the end, feels like expanding my mind to think at a scale that I have really never tried to understand before.
