I love books about advanced technologies that aren't real (you know, made up in those books). Not sure if that is just science fiction or not, but I love books that talk about technologies that don't exist and are fascinating. Please give me some names of books that kept you interested, immersed and amazed.
Thank you

The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts

In The Freeze-Frame Revolution, Peter Watts takes us millions of years into the future and hundreds of light-years away, where an isolated fragment of humanity must confront exotic physics, unfathomable entities, and the unforeseen consequences of their own technologies.

Permutation City by Greg Egan

This book is about a group of humans who build a new world in virtual reality (and the question of whether we are able to avoid repeating the old mistakes).

Self-reference Engine by Toh EnJoe

This book is about humanity and AI... in a very abstract, speculative exploration of consciousness and awareness. The structure of the writing is unusual and stretches what a book can be.
