Hah, I guess I wasn’t thinking far enough into the Trekkiverse.
I had recently read a book that had replicator-like technology but the matter stream was a luxury that not everyone could afford to connect to, it was laid out as an analog to the internet or other services like that, so that’s where my mind went. I can’t for the life of me remember which book that was…
I will try and dig through my e-reader to find it, but it was a while ago so I might have purged the file.
On a completely unrelated note, just this week I finished up the last of Greg Egan’s works, I’ve been binging all his stuff. If you haven’t read any of his stuff I highly recommend it. They were all so good, but Diaspora and the Orthogonal Trilogy were my standout faves. the Orthogonal Trilogy is so unbelievably deeply technically detailed, it kept me glued to the pages and pages of equations, even if the characters were a little dry. It’s all about the universe-building in that one. Egan has an entire website with a massive amount of additional information and details about the physics of that universe.

Not the answer, but perhaps a feather for your cap

Shit, imma need that title…
Well, shit.
If you remember, let us know! I’m a huge book nerd that (clearly) loves sci-fi, and that sounds pretty neat.
