Had found an interesting list of books, got some awhile ago and have had time to read of late.

Queen City Jazz by Kathleen Ann Goonan : http://www.goonan.com/queencityjazz.html

90s nanotech book, expected a larger scope but the book turns into an inventor invention discussion.  Not what I was expecting, which is a good thing.  Twilight Zoney.

 

Vert by Jeff Noon : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Noon

Pulpy take of virtual shared drug experience and the sister of the main character who gets 'transferred' and 'exchanged' and is the quest for the characters.

 

 

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi : http://windupstories.com/

Although the title plays a significant but lesser role, the world created and the interaction of the main players is what make this a great book.

 

Looking forward to Neal Stephenson's 'Reamde' next month.
