I recently read Hannu Rajaniemi's The Quantum Thief and The Fractal Prince. These are set in a post-singularity solar system; I thought they were good fiction, but was in the odd position of not being able to say if they are good science fiction, because I'm not well-enough versed in quantum physics. Still, they were interesting. I think many Lesswrongers would find the quantum prison the story starts off in to be a fascinating concept.

Seconding this recommendation. They're definitely fun stories that actually have significantly novel post-singularity societies instead of the generic future scifi cultures.
