Rifters

Also, the manner in which the aliens evaded observation literally took my breath away when I first used it. Brilliant book. All the Rifters books, actually. And The Island, and… well you get the picture. Fantastic author.

He's a fantastic author. You picked the right time to read that too, a sequel is coming out in August that continues the story. His Rifters series is well worth reading too.

Peter Watts is excellent. Blindsight and the Rifters trilogy are both fun hard sci-fi bent reads
