Here's a sci-fi story by Charlie Stross called Accelerando.

I just got done reading it and really liked it because he captures some of how strange the future may turn out to be. I mean, most science fiction is just people and events from today but with spaceships and lightsabers added on, but this story really follows the development of the human species over the next thousand years and really makes it sound plausible how one thing leads to another.
Though he sells it as a regular book, he also makes it available free online (which you'll understand once you read more about what his main character does for a living).
Anyway, I loved it, and if you read it and like it as much as I did, check out his other story, The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect.
