肯·麦克劳德（Ken MacLeod）在这类风格上有相当不错的一些作品。我还没读过《光之引擎》（Engines of Light）三部曲（反正它也过不了你那个近未来的筛选标准），但《秋季革命》（Fall Revolution）系列以及他的大多数单行本小说，都在非常贴近你所说的那个领域里玩出了一些很有趣的花样……
Ken MacLeod has some really good work in this vein. I haven't read the Engines of Light trilogy (which wouldn't pass your near-future filter, anyway), but the Fall Revolution series, and most of his stand-alone novels, do some really interesting things in just the neighborhood it sounds…
……值得品味。Karl Fogel 写的《Producing Open Source Software》（http://producingoss.com/）。非常深入地探讨了运营大型开源软件项目中的各种实际事务。肯·麦克劳德的《光之引擎》三部曲。很有趣，虽然节奏有点飘忽。它把一堆神秘超自然现象（Forteana）硬塞进了硬科幻框架里。这也是我读过的第二本搞出那种诡异仙尘式永生疗法的麦克劳德小说……
…to appreciate. Producing Open Source Software (http://producingoss.com/), by Karl Fogel. A very thorough look into all sorts of practical matters in running a large open source software project. The Engines of Light trilogy by Ken MacLeod. Entertaining, though a bit erratic. Makes a bunch of Forteana fit in a hard SF framework. Also the second MacLeod book I've read that has a weird pixie dust immortality treatment…
Ken MacLeod has SF books (the Engines of Light trilogy) where giant squids are the only creatures capable of navigating starships: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_MacLeod
I'm currently reading the Engines of Light trilogy by Ken MacLeod. In that universe, there is no FTL travel nor communication, but starships can travel literally at the speed of light. There are "spheres of influence" spanning some tens of lightyears,…

肯·麦克劳德写过一些科幻小说（《光之引擎》三部曲），在书里巨型乌贼是唯一能够驾驶星际飞船的生物：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_MacLeod

我目前正在读肯·麦克劳德的《光之引擎》三部曲。在那个宇宙里，既没有超光速（FTL）旅行也没有超光速通信，但星际飞船确实可以以光速飞行。那里存在着跨越数十光年的“势力范围”，……
