I'd never heard of Charlie Stross or his Accelerando book. Thanks for mentioning that, it looks right up my hard-sci-fi alley.

- vsviridov 9y agoThen definitely also check out the Quantum Thief trilogy, by Hannu Rajaniemi.
- okreallywtf 9y agoSeconded, in the beginning it almost has a fantasy vibe since what it describes for the most part is so advanced it almost seems magical, but stick with it because it is fantastic.
- eridius 9y agoAmusingly, the cover of The Quantum Thief (at least on iBooks) has the following quote: > "The best first SF novel I've read in years. Hard to admit, but I think he's better at this stuff than I am." -Charles Stross
- moomin 9y agoI remain completely unmoved by HR's output. But I'm most definitely in the minority.
- moomin 9y agoHe actually posts on here from time to time... He's fairly prolific and very talented. The only one of his books I wouldn't particularly recommend is his first. The sequel's great, though. Many of his straight up thrillers e.g. Saturn's Children have well realised universes they inhabit.
