Finished recently Singularity Sky by Charles Stross. It is about the aftermath of a singularity event. An entity called Eschaton "ascends" and leaves a message engraved in a stone column:
I am the Eschaton. I am not your God.
I am descended from you, and exist in your future.
Thou shalt not violate causality within my historic light cone. Or else.
Eschaton seems quite picky about the last line to the extend that he will destroy a whole planetary system, if it is violated. Hence U.N. creates an agency to deal with causality-violation devices and prevent people to bring Eschaton's undesired attention.
Of course as you can imagine there are many people that think those rules don't apply to them ;)
