An even further detour...do you recall the name of the sci-fi (not alien abduction type!) author you suggested to me?

Ooh. I think that's Richard Powers. I'd start with Gain and then Galatea 2.0.

Yes! I read “Echo Maker” years ago and think of it still. The characters, but apparently not the author! Thanks!

Great song - and it was on the long-list. However, it didn't make the cut in the end (I'm finding my self-imposed 5-song limit difficult at times). It's in the 'To-Use' folder, though - so it should be appearing at some point!
