The Transhumanist Wager. Has anyone read this thing? The Wikipedia synopsis reads like a satirical description of a fictional book. This review is absolutely scathing, including of the ethics of the author-avatar protagonist; this one is a bit nicer. The author commented here very slightly.

Oh my gosh this book sounds amazing (though not for the reasons the author intended). There's even seasteading!

EDIT: After reading some reviews, on the other hand, I'll take a pass, sorry.
