My choice is Spin, a novel by Robert Charles Wilson (2005). This is IMO the very best kind of sci-fi: a plausible, scientifically grounded story about interesting people experiencing some fascinating shit. Wilson is a great writer, too; I hadn't heard of him previously, but have since read a bunch of his works. (As an aside, there has never been a year in my life where the best book of the year for me was a nonfiction title. Am I weird?) http://www.amazon.com/Spin-ebook/dp/B0016IXMWI/ref=kinw_dp_ke?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2 http://www.amazon.com/Spin-ebook/dp/B0016IXMWI/ref=kinw_dp_k...
