Sean Eric FaganNot-really-cached US Kindle giveaways. Yes, plural -- two books: Metaplanetary and Superluminal, by Tony Daniel. These are weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd books: the setting is a solar system-wide society with... all of the planets connected by giant cables. Huge cables. That have space for physical objects, data cables, and computronium.
The society is full of all sorts of people -- biological and virtual. One of the families is a biological man and a virtual woman. They have children.
And then fascism starts happening. There is real, horrible evil in the books. ugh.
And then it ends. Clearly a third one was supposed to happen, but it never did. Just enjoy the weiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd ride.
I wonder what happened to the author.
