Stross has a good Singularity novel, Accelerando.
Vinge has an interesting novel - Marooned in Realtime - that follows a group of humans who missed the Singularity and have been "Left Behind" so to speak. Not Sing Fic, but a neat concept.
Come to think of it, there's a lot of post-Singularity fiction, but very little actual "in the Singularity itself" fiction that comes to mind.
OH! Chiang's short "Understand" is an awesome watching-the-singularity-happen story, and is available here: http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/under.htm (Almost everything Chiang's ever written is brilliant, FWIW)
I loved accelerando...just read the Chiang story, great but was disapointed by the outcome. I wont discuss why to avoid spoilers
