Quite a bit Stainless Steel Rat, some Neuromancer and dim shades of Never Let Me Go. Having seen the film The Island which is sort-of-not-really based on it, I was initially surprised how far they'd departed from the story and it took me a while to adjust to the fact that this wasn't really any relation to it.
The hard-boiled protagonist is creaky as a main character, the other leads don't get much beyond cardboard cut-outs (the most 'real' of them is a robot), the spares themselves barely feature apart from as a plot device and the world is an unconvincing BladeRunner/Brave New World/Gibson mashup with an alternate reality plane thrown in for good measure (or at least to provide somewhere for the characters to go when the mall gets boring) .. but
... by the halfway mark I didn't really care - it's a pacy, funny, action thriller that does a good job at dragging you pell mell along to the end.
Speed minus Dennis Hopper.
