I think there might be a CUK Book Club thread, perhaps? Maybe a merge of the two would be a good idea?

Bindi by Nnedi Okorafor. It's a triology of Sci-fi/horror novellas. The first one won Hugo and Nebula awards. It's very different and quite mind expanding, as proper sci-fi should be.
Just finished The Quantum Magician by Derek Künsken. A nice bit of hard sci-fi/space opera/heist. Fun to read.
Before then, Obama's autobiography. Surprisingly well written (I usually find politician memoires to be a bit dull). While I don't agree with all is politics, and of course understanding he's going to make himself look good, it's a fascinating insight into US politics. If John "Oven Chips" McCain has memoirs out covering the period when he stood against Obama, I'd like to read them.

I thought the other stuff was hard science fiction. Now I'm reading Greg Egan - Diaspora. Intelligent life forms living in fourier analysis. 12 dimensional space. And virtualisation of reality.
At least on his website he has diagrams explaining some of the concepts.
