I write books for a living. Mostly fiction: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Charles+Stross&x=0&y=0 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dap... Which is not to say that I haven't written technical books, back in the day: http://www.amazon.com/Web-Architects-Handbook-Charles-Stross/dp/020187735X/ http://www.amazon.com/Web-Architects-Handbook-Charles-Stross... I'm not self-published -- I've got Ace (aka part of Penguin USA), Orbit (aka Hachette) and Tor (aka Holtzbrinck) as my publishers. Yes, I do this for a day job.

Your fiction books' descriptions are great! I'm going to check out the previews on my Kindle app. If the books are as good, you've got a new fan!

I'm currently reading your book "Accelerando" (in parallel with about 20 other books). HN readers would probably enjoy the density of ideas evident in it.

It's times like these I wish hacker news had a user follow ability. You are probably one of my favorite authors of all time, and I had no idea you were present here on HN.

  Now that you know he exists, you can track his HN posts with http://hackerfollow.com/ http://hackerfollow.com/ (I'm not affiliated in any way, I just think it's a nice tool.)

I had not heard of your fiction, but based on other comments here, I just bought "The Atrocity Archives" for my Kindle - looking forward to reading it!

"Rule 34" is a great title.
