MacLeod's sf is wonderful, detailed, almost without precedent in this US-politics-biased genre, and funny as well.
The direct sequel to THE STONE CANAL is his immensely exciting THE CASSINI DIVISION, where Borgish posthumans are taken on by libertarian communists following a flawed Singularity that morphs Jupiter. That's *not* the final novel, though: THE SKY ROAD shifts back to follow some of the characters of previous novels into a subtly *alternative* history.
