You must all immediately look at the following things:
Blindsight, a sci-fi novel by Peter Watts that is just so dark and brilliant I can't adequately describe it. One of my top three sci-fi novels ever, dense with terrifying and awesome ideas about information theory, neurology, empathy, compassion, identity, sentience, purpose and everything else that keeps me up at 4am. The science is hard enough to have footnotes (and they're really cool too). Did I mention that it's free?
Templar, Arizona is that rarest thing, a webcomic that doesn't make me embarrassed to read it. The art is good, the dialogue sounds like actual humans speaking and the worldbuilding is extraordinary. No punchlines, but it's funny anyway. It's not fantasy or science fiction, it's something else entirely.
Lackadaisy Cats. Rumrunners in prohibition-era St Louis. Yes yes, they're anthropomorphic cats. Furry blah whatever. It's really, really well-drawn, historically accurate and at times hysterically funny.
