The Mobile Wave by Michael Saylor. More on smartphones/tablets as external brains. He believes mobile computing is the tipping point for the Information Revolution. Evangelistic and optimistic in tone but not so persuasive in argument. Until security and privacy concerns are addressed, I don't think the future he envisions can arrive. And offering Singapore's regimented society as a shining example didn't help.
Gods Without Men by Hari Kunzru. Nominally about a location in the desert that draws people looking for aliens/traditional gods/enlightenment. It's an interesting look at what belief systems can be and how they shape behavior. Nonlinear story but most of the characters eventually intersect in some way.
