Fantastic books IMO

I just read "The Unincorporated Man" which has a bit of a Brave New World feel to it. It takes place 300 years in the future where society has collapsed and rebuilt itself around the concept of incorporation-- buying and selling shares of each other. There is a sequel that I have not picked up yet.

One book I really liked and I reread from time to time is Macroscope by Piers Anthony.

I've been meaning to read that again for years and years. I had a paperback copy that was my fathers and in absolute decay. Pages aged an off-red, musty smell, holes and stains. It's still out of print, right?
Here's a few other newer ones:
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

I recently found 'the Rifter trilogy' through some opensource book listing and really enjoyed them:

I just recently read through the series Bio of a Space Tyrant. Awesome work.
