[DIYbio] Re: good biology sci-fi

Bruce Sterling has some pretty good ones, if you like his style. These two are his more bio-focused novels that I have read:
Holy Fire (Transhumanism themes -- life extension)
Distraction (Transhumanism themes -- neuro-enhancement)
 
Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis series (now it's called Lilith's Brood, I think) is also interesting.

Anybody have reading recommendations for good, biology inspired sci-fi?  I think people produce interesting things to read when they take\ a little bit of science fact and add a little bit of contemporary prejudice and thought.  Sometimes these stories can be good jumping off points for discussions.

I will start.  I read this a while back...I remember not totally liking how it was written, but it was interesting.
