I like Greg Egan short stories, and I'm sure others here do as well.

but my favorite short story is probably The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. It's very post-Singularity. The story starts with a God-like AI running the universe (and basically existing under Asimov's Three Laws). Due to post scarcity economics, some humans are so bored, that for fun they've come up with a "death" game: You and your opponent come up with some fucked up way to kill each other, the God-like AI lets it play out, and then you're brought back to life.
