Yes it is painfully obvious. IMO the greatest threat of biotech is the threat to food security. Imagine a world where farmers need to buy new patented seeds every year, where competing biotech companies engineer disease to boost their own new tech or strike at a rival, where nations are held hostage to a few supranational companies. Can't imagine it? Read The Windup Girl
Other mandatory reading: Seeds of Destruction which asks the obvious question: why create spermicidal corn
For sheer 'play in the virtual world' stuff, you MUST read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. You'll blaze through that, so follow it up with Stephenson's The Diamond Age
Good YA dystopic future stuff:
The Windup Girl
Station Eleven
Finally, get into Neuromancer, by William Gibson. It's a fantastic--some would say genre-defining--cyberpunk novel.
Then go devour everything Stephenson and Gibson put out there. That should get you through at least the first half of the summer. Happy reading!
