Charles Stross wrote a book titled rule 34. I was bad don't read it. I'm not even kidding, it was written in the second person, who does that?

Don't judge Stross by that book; his other stuff's a lot better.

Was thinking of checking out Neptune's Children but after reading about a computer virus causing a 3d printer to spit out a bunch of dildos...

I rather enjoyed both Halting State and Rule 34. There's something to being told that YOU are a Scottish, lesbian police officer. Forces you out of your own head. Unless you are a Scottish lesbian police officer. Then it's probably quite normal to take that point of view.
Admittedly, the real difficulty was switching pov. Jumping from being a lesbian cop to being a delusional sociopath can be a bit jarring. And I'll admit, the end of Rule 34 was less satisfying than the end of Halting State.

Gotta say I don't recall that scene from when I read it. I'm mostly a fan of his series. The Merchant Princes series is about a New York journalist who discovers that she's related to a clan of people who have the ability to jump from our dimension to another one, and have used it to gain power and wealth. The Laundry Files follows computer geek, applied necromancer and secret agent Bob Howard in his adventures through the horrors of departmental bureaucracy and cthonian monstrosities from beyond time and space.

Re: second person, when I was younger I was really into Goosebumps (before Goosebumps 2000, fuck that noise), and thus had a bunch of the "choose-your-adventure" books. What's funny is one of them had the protagonist (me, I guess?) de-aged to seven years old...but I was seven when I read that so...yeah.
