I don't have the dead tree version yet, so no pic...

I just finished Charles Stross' Accelerando, a marvelous read that I snagged as a CC-licensed ebook from his website. I was already a fan of his from other works, but I had somehow missed this -- thank goodness Vernor Vinge mentioned (and recommended) it in his outstanding keynote address at Accelerating Change 2005.

If you like cyberpunk / singularity / futureshock-style science fiction, I cannot recommend Accelerando highly enough. It is amazing. I'll be buying at least two copies; one for me, one to give away this holiday season.
