If you are a Tumblr transhumanist you should consider reading the Eclipse Phase PDFs (the horror themes are less pervasive than is implied).
If you are the sort of Tumblr leftist who hangs around with transhumanists, you should also consider doing that. They have multiple protagonist-y anarchist factions and other stuff that might be appealing. (I wouldn’t really know, all the politics stuff I have done has been through the [Redacted] Young Democrats (funded by [Redacted] Democratic Club) which are basically what you would expect from a group that does voter registration campaigns and owns a life-size cardboard cutout of Hillary Clinton, but the authors are clearly sympathetic to this stuff and it shows.)
[ulterior motive: I want to play Eclipse Phase, but I don’t want to be a GM, so I want to get someone else enthusiastic enough about this game to run it.]
Image description: Book cover with the title Eclipse Phase, crescent moon in between words. Subtitle: The Roleplaying Game of Transhumanist Conspiracy and Horror. Image is of a robot arm reaching out of a damaged space station to grab a rat-like humanoid in a space suit, but not as tacky as that description sounds.
Never played a tabletop RPG in my life, but Eclipse Phase has sounded interesting ever since I proofread a (sadly unfinished) story set in the Eclipse Phase universe, and I have heard that the game books are themselves an interesting read.
