Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
Impressive conceit -- that social currency will become literal currency in the future. Doctorow does a pretty good job of making the farfetched seem reasonable. I would have liked to read more from this world, with more depth to the psychological implications of rebooting and Whuffie. Loved the behind-the-scenes world of Disney.
