I've been reading a lot of Greg Bear recently . . . I normally don't read much sci-fi, but I had been perusing the forums of a video games I like, and someone mentioned von Neumann probes as a gameplay mechanic; in the process, he/she referenced Greg Bear's "The Forge of God." After being blown away by Forge, I immediately DL'd the sequel, "Anvil of the Stars."
Look up Von-Neumann Probes. If that sounds interesting to you, pick up some of Greg Bear's work. "Blood Music," in particular, is a good standalone short, if you're looking to dabble.
