- creer 3y agoI have read it! I love it! (although I thought it was not quite about that.) For everyone who hasn't read it yet: In Accelerando, Charles Stross, 2005, we follow a business hacker and associates from current days to past the singularity. It's an outstanding attempt at writing about what singularity might look like (more or less the points where close-future events become unpredictable or where the earlier people might just plain not understand the later - which by definition should be hard to imagine and describe). It keeps an eye on normal humans and augmented humans and posthumans and uploads and many kinds of AIs and aliens etc. The book is admirable for the sheer amount of invention and for its density - prefectly appropriate for everyone just trying to keep up (or sometimes just bailing out.) Painful writing rescued by the amount of invention.
