I read the online reprint of "Lobsters" by Charles Stross today. Stross is one of the best short story writers in science fiction today. "Lobsters" is part of the Manfred Macx series which is basically a hyperkinetic riff on a near future of ubiquitous internet access, augmented human intelligence and agalmic enterprise. Macx makes his living from giving his inventions and patents away. His profligacy has gained him a reputation that allows him to travel the world and live an always-on life.
"Lobsters" appeared in Asimov's SF, probably the best science fiction magazine being published today.
