I've read about half that list, and half of what remains is on my list. But it's a pity Charles Stross's Accelerando isn't on there. You can read it online for free here: http://www.accelerando.org/book/.
Miserable? It had the opposition effect on me. I found it inspiring. What a fantastic future if we can develop that sort of technology. Of course a novel has to have a few things go wrong to make a compelling story but I don't see them as being inherent in the possibilities being presented.
