I need new scifi book recommendations please. (Ebook availability way preferable.) What’s new, what’s happening, what’s not post-cyberpunk or too futureshock, what’s actually good??

Hunger Games! do not be put off by it being YA. it is adult-appropriate.

I second Hunger Games! I also like the Uglies/Pretties/Specials trilogy by Scott Westerfeld, but it reads a little younger than Hunger Games. Still… it has hoverboards!

I’ve been really itching to read/audioread Daemon, by Daniel Suarez. The creator of an automated system dies which triggers the system to start…killing. It’s an interesting look at how seemingly benign computer programs affect our lives, but extrapolated to the extreme. To get you further interested, Suarez gave a talk about bot-mediated reality, a companion study to the book, at the Long Now Foundation. If you’ve got an hour he’s got some very interesting insights.
