I haven't read "Halting State" yet, but Stross's "Accelerando" is pretty good. You might also try Vinge's "Rainbows End".

Yeah, Accelerando was a book I thought important, and wanted to love, but only like. Rainbows End was entertaining, but not like Vinge's earlier stuff, in my opinion. Ah, well. :)

I read many of Stross's and liked them, but I can't help but feel most (all?) are pretty similar to one another.
