The first sentence of "Accelerando" is transcendentally beautiful, something to be quoted for generations to come. The rest of the first chapter is pretty interesting. The domme/sub relationship thing is well written although the sex act depicted sounds implausible. The second chapter also has an interesting scene where Macx is rescued by Anette with the recording earrings. Not long after we have a rant by an Italian politician that already showcases most of the Strossian School of economics. Then the book gets muddled but that's arguably part of the concept. Basically people keep listening to Stross for this sublime sentence: "Manfred is on the run, making strangers rich."
