 I'm excluding music from this because music preferences seem to be even more varied between the people I interact with than other stuff.

 * [Bastion](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59521676-bastion) - great worldbuilding, somewhat annoying characters (though they improve somewhat).
 * [Dogs of War](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35827220-dogs-of-war) - pretty good scifi, though I am not sure it's very "thought-provoking" as some reviewers claim inasmuch as the ethical questions in it are not very hard.
 * [Lexicon](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16158596-lexicon) - fun, though I think the connection to data privacy issues is poorly done, perhaps because it's from 2013 and this feels outdated.
+* [Thresholder](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/60396/thresholder) - a "jumpchain" story done very well.
+* [Luminous](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/156782.Luminous)/[Oceanic](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6741362-oceanic)/[Instantiation](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50641444-instantiation) and other Greg Egan short stories - great high-concept scifi; I think Egan works better at short story length than full novels, though the only novel from him I have actually read is [Schild's Ladder](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/156780.Schild_s_Ladder).
+* [The Lost Books of the Odyssey](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2199365.The_Lost_Books_of_the_Odyssey) - same author as Void Star so my notes about the prose apply. An interesting take on the mythology and at times even rather funny.
+* [Accelerando](https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/accelerando/accelerando.html) - the best fictional depiction of the posthuman technocapital singularity I'm aware of.
