If you are interested in a quick, entertaining read, check out this short story (pdf format) from the Eclipse Phase PnP RPG Core Rules book:  http://eclipsephase.com/downloads/eclipsephase_preview2_fictionlack.pdf  I love the game setting.  And you might find the first part of the Quick Start Rules worth reading, since it gives the background of the state of the world, how it got there, and who the major entities and organizations are.  That can be downloaded as a zip file here (the bottom three options are the free ones): http://www.eclipsephase.com/qsr
