Stephen Baxter's authorized sequel to Wells' "The Time Machine".
I really enjoyed reading this. Baxter picks up the story where Wells leaves off.

The Shape of Stories - Kurt Vonnegut
“The fundamental idea is that stories have shapes which can be drawn on graph paper, and that the shape of a given society’s stories is at least as interesting as the shape of its pots or spearheads.”

Which Space Drive?
For my new novel Singularity's Children, I am thinking about options for interplanetary propulsion (...for interstellar you will need to wait for my next book!)
My current favorite for early 21st Century Equiv-Tech is the Fusion Driven Rocket based around Magneto-Inertial Fusion (also here).
While researching I also came across this awesome site from Winchell Chung

Hipster Timeshare
Real Estate in the Cloud?
"Perhaps we’re about to see an emerging breed of young professionals that work remotely, ditch their lease ... live exclusively ... bouncing between Miami and Madrid with a laptop and a single suitcase."
Rent the house on AirBnB and travel the world like a digital vagabond?
I am probably an edge case, but this has a certain appeal to me.
