Really great stuff. Especially like the idea about intelligent AI finally evolving from the arms race between developing a good spam bot vs making an intelligent spam filter. Software that pretends to be meat. Nicely done.
- javanix 16y agoCharles Stross is a very intelligent individual. If anyone here hasn't read Accelerando I highly recommend it.
- ghotli 16y agoI'm finishing Halting State right now. It's basically written for this community. A real fun read.
- burgerbrain 16y agoThe ebook of Accelerando is even free. Now all of you with ebook readers have no reason to go read it right now! :) Furthermore, his unpublished but freely available novel Scratch Monkey is also a very good read. If you've read Accelerando it is interesting to see the formation of many of his ideas.

For once, Charlie posted something I found kind of old hat. (Normally he's way out ahead of me.)
