I find this post some what interesting, but I'm disappointed he didn't go more into depth on specific examples of what inspired him. I've been reading Accelerando (http://www.accelerando.org/ http://www.accelerando.org/ It is quite nicely free, and I highly recommend it), and I've been fascinated by how many ideas he managed to cram into there. It's an excellent book, but it's so dense with ideas I find myself only able to read it in short bursts so I can wrap my head around some of the ideas it discusses.
