Peter Hamilton’s near-future, somewhat cyberpunk techno-thriller Mindstar Rising is the first book of a trilogy, but it’s a good trilogy, so that’s all right. You’re probably going to roll your eyes at the global warming stuff — it was written in 1993, and Hamilton assumed that right about now climate change would have gotten so bad that the United Kingdom would have been taken over by a bunch of filthy Stalinist Commies* — but it’s a good thriller and the computer tech holds up pretty well. The psionic stuff, not so much, but that’s how it goes.
*Who were bad. And vicious. And were eventually overthrown by High Church free-market revolutionary street punks who brought back the Royal family and the megacorps to rebuild England. It was quite refreshing, really.
I especially like his idea of Compress Electron Bomb. Otherwise known as the Rich Man’s Nuke, or an ultra clean neutron bomb. The third book shows you just what kind of peaceful application this devices is to someone with a lot of resources at hand. Also their corporate security at the third book have reach a state where they can have rapid response anywhere on Earth within 15 minutes. It’s not that they have that many soldiers on hand. It’s just their response team’s vehicle is just that fast.
