Bruce Sterling's _Schismatrix_ is one of the primary fictional references.

"Welcome to the Deep Beyond
In the last decade of the 21st century, humanity faced two of its greatest
challenges. The first was the transformation from a single evolved species
to a multitude of artificial races. The second was the settlement of the
vast reaches of the solar system beyond the orbit of Mars. Stretching from
the asteroid belt to distant Pluto, the "deep beyond" was both a source of
valuable raw materials and the solar system's final frontier. Its siren call
attracted entrepreneurs, pioneers, visionaries -- and outlaws."

"GURPS Transhuman Space is a new science fiction series, created by David
Pulver and written by the top GURPS authors. It introduces a new GURPS Space
setting -- the solar system in the year 2100. Advanced biotechnology and
interplanetary colonization have transformed our solar system into a setting
as exciting and alien as any interstellar empire."
