Been reading The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi, after reading his short story set in the same universe. I really love that it challenges the general assumptions of dystopian sci-fi that 1) the future will involve lots of concrete, steel, and plastic and 2) the world is only going to continue getting more electronic and more "connected". Both of those are pretty big assumptions, and it's fascinating to see sci-fi set in a world that doesn't take those as axiomatic.
