I'm getting into Adrian Tchaikovsky myself. He certainly loves painting the future as a capitalist hellscape, doesn't he?

I'm part way into Shroud, where whole solar systems are being strip-mined for resources, and the people doing the work are skinny because they can't afford to eat well but they get auto-dosed with drugs to help them focus when hunger is distracting them.

Ohhh, that's the newest one of his, right?

I'm currently reading City of Last Chances. Interesting urban fantasy, I'm digging it

Recent, certainly. I don't know if it's newest.
