Saturn Run by John Sandford and Ctein. Takes place in 2066. An alien spacecraft has gone into orbit around Saturn. This has some nice extrapolation of technology. Some people have implants that allow them to turn off the computer without touching it, and cars follow address sensors implanted in streets, and can be totally self-driven. Stuff like that.

I don't expect to make it all the way to 2066, and who knows exactly how the technology will progress, but it feels logical and right.
