Read Some Hip New Sci-fi by S. Schaefer,

For starters there's Chris Genoa's laugh out loud funny and slightly insane 'Foop!', Cory Doctorow's cutting-edge 'Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom', Sean Stewart's totally original 'Perfect Circle', and Charles Stross's idea packed 'Singularity Sky'.

Here's a few more books that can be enjoyed by anyone, whether you're too cool for school or just a total tool:

'Eastern Standard Tribe' Doctorow's second post-cyberpunk novel, which is even better than the first. The author describes the book as "a morality play about the fearful choice everybody makes sooner or later between smarts and happiness."

'Newton's Wake' A space opera with lots of modern political themes running through it.

'Cloud Atlas : A Novel' Six separate narratives run through this super stylistic novel. If you like novels that are like puzzles, this is the book for you.

'A Place So Foreign and Eight More' 9 short stories by Doctorow.
