Blindsight by Peter Watts
I started reading Blindsight a few days ago and I'm about 1/5 of the way.

The book so far presents some very interesting concepts, like: the breakdown of interpersonal relationships, with marriage virtually no longer practiced; the incorporation of vampire genes into humans so they can travel long distances in space, becoming technically undead for a period of time; and the possibility of a mass human upload of consciousness that will form the final step in their "evolution".

The are however, some confusing parts in which the author wrote from the perspective of probes/satellites. Parts that, to me, felt like long monologues and I found myself going back to see if I had missed a page or something.

Other that that, the book has been enjoyable so far and has captured my attention. I really want to see what happens next.
