I think Rainbows End is excellent. However, I was disappointed with The Children of the Sky.

It had an interesting take on industrialization with a hivemind though. Manchester capitalism is not really bad if you are borg, after all its just a hand assigned to boredom.

Rainbows End explored a society which went full AR, but in my opinion most of the shots if fired missed the target.

Even so, I would love recommendations that take full AR as seriously.
