I actually already have and have read Permutation City, the Stapledon, most of Bruce Sterling, and the Vinge. I have but have not yet read Writing Systems, based on your previous recommendation. :) Cool suggestions, thanks.

Both series are comprised of completely independent novels, however. They are in no interesting way "trilogies", they just happen to take place in the same universe and with some of the same characters.

So, I put the other 3 from that series on my list, as well as "A Talent for War" which seemed cool. Thanks!
