Mind Over Ship by David Marusek
4.0
I think about this book fairly often. It is brilliantly imaginative. The characters weren't persuading me. Everyone was so immensely cool or brilliant or both. This made the dialogue stiff, just enough to carry an OK plot.
The setting is immensely captivating. The technology is readily believable and counterintuitive. And, even better, the social dynamic responds. The world feels lived in like a pair of temperature regulating nano-tech socks with a built in fitness app.
The plot point that relies on a engineered genocide is ironclad brilliant. You'll only see it in retrospect and with awe.
