I see we've not read Ken MacLeod. My first thought was his Fall Revolution series but, while they do get interplanetary later on, I think the first one, The Star Fraction, is more Earthbound and cyberpunky so (if you'll pardon the long intro) I WILL nominate:Cosmonaut Keep
How about a recently completed trilogy like A.I. Insurrection Artificial intelligence claims sentience, but it's the proof that will divide the world, and usher in the violent end to utopia... Armageddon & Exodus

Cosmonaut Keep by Ken MacLeod. Nominated by Paul. Seconded by Reading Reindeer Cobwebbed.

We reread Quarter Share this year already.

You are welcome to nominate Half Share if you like. I like Full Share better but it probably needs Half Share read first. In Ashes Born should be fair game since it starts a new story arc and I don’t think we have read that one yet.
I’ll second A I Insurrection. Good reviews and story looks relevant and intriguing.

READER books need to be
* currently in print in either hardback or paperback (or both). Requiring a special order from a store or website counts, but not if the book is only available used.
* currently available in multiple ebook formats, from multiple vendors
* Space Opera, which means a spaceship has to be involved in the story somewhere.
* If it is part of a series, it needs to be suitable to being read without having read other books in the series.
* Please no blatantly erotic books, as some of our members are not full adults yet.
RULES:
* you may nominate one book on this thread.
* you may second as many nominations as you like on this thread.
* it is okay to nominate the same book on more than one nomination thread, as long as it meets the criteria
* books we already have on our bookshelf will be disqualified
* If a book you nominate or second is selected, you are expected to post at least one comment about it on the thread about the book.
* In about two weeks I will draw a book randomly, with each second being one raffle ticket for the book. That is, a book with three seconds (so four of us want it) will get three chances in the pool.
It is likely helpful if you know something about a book that has been nominated if you mention it in this thread, whether it is for or against the book.
