- kaashif 2y agoI'm reading Accelerando right now and there's some unnecessary weird sex stuff at the start. Good book despite that though, some very interesting ideas.
- dmd 2y agoMy one-sentence review of Accelerando is "VASTLY better than the first couple chapters will make you believe."
- mad0 2y agoIf I may suggest another read: Perfect Imperfection by Polish author Jacek Dukaj. It's definitely weirder, than Accelerando, as the book drops you straight into the last parts of evolution curve, but definitely worth reading if you have liked Accelerando. The story is super weird, but what I found out is that piecing together a picture of a far-future society from this story was very exciting.
