Location: Austin, Tx		Well, it's not going to get in the database for officialness (it's obscurish and only got an ebook release), but I just finished Eclipse Phase: After The Fall, a collection of short stories that tie in with the Eclipse Phase roleplaying game. I enjoyed it a lot.

The setting is a transhumanist smashup of all of the transhumanist stuff out there (Altered Carbon, The Expanse series, the Uplift War series, anything by Peter F Hamilton, anything by Alastair Reynolds, a lot of Kim Stanley Robinson, Ancillary Justice, Lord of Light, the Old Man's War series, etc) and the stories are about an even split of adventure stories meant to jazz people up for playing in the setting (these were originally included as shorts in the front of the RPG splat books) and stories from outside authors exploring themes within the world. I particularly enjoyed the latter category because I like to see where other people's thoughts take them within this setting that I love.
