Just finished "Fallen Angels", by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Michael Flynn, which I bought from Baen in 2002. It's some time in the near future, and the US is ruled by an anti-technology" government, who try to suppress any "inappropriate" scientific knowledge. A new ice age has also started, which isn't helping things! When two astronauts from an independent orbital colony crash-land in the US, the government is out to arrest them as "illegal aliens", but they are rescued by a group of underground SF fans (SF having been outlawed as "pro-technology") who devise a plan to get them back home.
Excellent book, and will appeal particularly to anyone familiar with the culture of SF fandom. Highly recommended.
