Post-singularity science fiction

My friend Kavi and I have been exchanging book notes, in particular both of us recently read "Singularity Sky" by Charles Stross.  Kavi said I sounded bored by post-singularity fiction, which he finds exciting.  Here's my reply:
 
I'm bored not by the concept, but by most of the books and stories written on the subject.  The imagination shown is of the level of most of the aliens in science fiction (what if lions were intelligent?  what if bears were intelligent?  what if fish were intelligent? ... )...but Stross does better.  The other hard part with these stories is explaining how "humans" still fit in, with most authors falling back on the Brave New World technique of introducing an anachronistic "Savage".  Wright does better I think.
 
Essentially I suspect post-singularity writing is about like describing computer science to household pets....only it's the pets doing the writing.
