If you liked Harrison’s “Deathworld” and some of the violence in Morgan books, try Neal Asher.

probably the most well versed sci-fi literature aficionado i’ve ever met, i know that bonnie banks was a penpal w/ philip k dick and is a constant presence in neal asher blog’s forum where his renderings of asher’s imaginings are in heavy rotation. he is always championing the work of local under rated writer, jack vance (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/magazine/19Vance-t.html).

i am also really curious to see work developed in the vein of greg egan’s oeuvre (“diaspora” is a favorite) . his is a world where disembodiment has occurred and consciousness has shifted. i feel that between social networking websites and things like chatroulette we are definitely getting there.
