The novels Blindsight and Echopraxia (Or the omnibus of the two, Firefall) by Peter Watts are a pretty great bit of sci-fi/psychological horror. It explores the questions of what exactly is consciousness and intelligence, etc.
Also there are space vampires.
The main character has been turned into a kind of Chinese Room for human emotion/intention by some kind of brain surgery… Which is why I am thinking about the books right now.
I really thoroughly enjoyed the books and they way they were written, which is mostly in the first-person view of the main character, flaws, insights, Chinese Room and all.
