See also the novels of Greg Bear, who seems to riff on some of this stuff
quite a bit. You might just get a lot of confused views rather than good
solid scientific info but you might just enjoy the reads... (I just finished
Vitals which definitely played around with some of these ideas quite
thrillingly)

I love Greg Bear, also good are Darwins Radio and Blood Music.
|
Those, in fact (along with Darwins Children) were what I was thinking of as
well. I just finished Blood Music and I have to say while I found the science
very interesting, I sort of didnt like the ending of the story. The whole last
half of the book felt tacked on, like that was the part added to expand a short
story into a book.
I think you cant go wrong with ANY of the Killer Bs(1) as they style
themselves, although I think Brin is my favorite. Uplift is such a radically
cool milleau. Plus he had a really good non fiction book on privacy in the
digital age. (2)
But we may be deviating from .debate! :-)
1 - Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, and David Brin... see, for example this
open letter which is an
interesting letter in its own right
2 - maybe an
excerpt?
