56 The Quantum Magician, Derek Kunsken.

It's a heist set in a space-opera universe, with a lot of techbabble about quantum stuff. The characters are engaging and the story is good. Contains Peter Watts-style re-engineered humans, Bruce Sterling-style speculative economies, odd physics and cinematic space battles.
