Wil McCarthy recommends

The Risen Empire (2003)
(Succession, book 1)
Scott Westerfeld
"In Westerfeld's hands, science fiction's cutting edge is wielded with both the precision of a surgeon's scalpel and the wild abandon of a machete."

Pit Planet (2003)
David Dvorkin
"David Dvorkin reminds us that human nature will follow us into the future. A compelling exploration of the causes and consequences of monopoly."
