Nova Praxis is pretty much Eclipse Phase: Fate Edition. It's got a lot of crunch, I think maybe it's based on Strands of Fate? Anyway, they've written up all kinds of biosleeves and tech with surprisingly crunchy rules for Fate. I've only read it, not played, so I dunno how it works at the table. Some if it is neat but some of it had me scratching my head. Worth checking out, maybe.

I agree with some of that (the rules being tied to the setting, the overuse of jargon), but I didn't find the setting all that bad. I thought it was neat, and if it's a little "kitchen-sink"-y, that just leaves room to explore whatever your table thinks is most interesting. Admittedly, Eclipse Phase seems to have a more solid setting (and I love the Uplifts). If you're familiar with Eclipse Phase but don't like those rules, you could easily port it into Nova Praxis. I found the book to be well worth it.
