I nominate
Starfish by Peter Watts. This is book one of four in the scifi Rifters series and is made possible to our library by a Creative Commons license. DixieGal said in
this post, "If you have not yet read Watts' Starfish trilogy, then be sure to get it. It is absolutely mind-blowing hard scifi and thriller. All are available for free here at MR in the Patricia Clark library."
It was uploaded to the Patricia Clarke Memorial Library by JSWolf with this blurb:

Welcome to Beebe Station.
You're three kilometers below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. You're perched on the shoulder of an active volcano. The local fauna is very large and very nasty. If it doesn't kill you, a mudslide or an erupting smoker probably will.
Your fellow employees are rapists, pedophiles, borderline psychotics, and victims of same.
You feel very lucky to be here.
This is a damn sight better than the life you left behind.
