Reading suggestions for EP Psi
Greetings! I'm seeking directed advice as to what I should read next. I'm planning on working my way through the list of references in the back of the Eclipse Phase core book and am currently half way through The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. It is doing wonders to make me think about things on the nanofabrication and nanoswarm level. It's also a fantastic read so far and I heartily recommend it to others. Next on my list of books to acquire is a book that includes Eclipse Phase style asyncs. I've got a player in my group who has selected as two of his motivations the Lost and Psi, meaning I need to work at making a bigger picture here for him to explore. Can anyone recommend specifically a book or books that deal with psi in order to help get me into the right mind frame? After that, my next hope is to pick up something where the reputation economy is important, just to establish that aspect of the setting.

I think Peter Watts' "Blindsight" might give some psi-flavoured ideas.

[u]Starfish[/u] also has a few minor plot points which would give some ideas for how characters experience psi (explicitly, actually).
