Synopsis
Four hundred years in the future, in a world transformed by faster-than-light travel and the development of the Eschaton, a sentient artificial intelligence, the colony of New Republic, founded by people who wanted no part of the technological revolution, is threatened by an information plague of advanced technology that ignites chaos in the beleaguered colony.

Review
"Charles Stross is way hot. Read him now and find out what all the fuss is going to be about. Singularity Sky is a carnival of ideas disguised as a space opera, a joyous romp through the toybox of the imagination."
"If ever science fiction is about new ideas, new technologies, rethinking how the world works in a plausible way based on current technology--Charles Stross is the creme de la creme."
"Charles Stross is unmatched anywhere in the field for audacity, ambition, daring conceptualization, and dazzling brilliance of imagination. Where he goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow."
"Fasten your seat belt for the wildest ride in recent memory...Charles Stross owns the cutting edge of science fiction."
"Fasten your seatbelt for the wildest ride in recent memory. Charles Stross owns the cutting edge of science fiction." - James Patrick Kelly, author of Strange But Not a Stranger
Praise for Charles Stross "A new kind of future requires a new breed of guide--someone like Stross."--Popular Science "The act of creation seems to come easily to Charles Stross...[He] is peerless at dreaming up devices that could conceivably exist in six, sixty, or six hundred years' time."--The New York Times "Where Charles Stross goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow."--Gardner Dozois, Editor, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine "Smart, literate, funny."--#1 New York Times bestselling author Lev Grossman, Time "Much of the action is completely nuts, but Stross manages to ground it in believability through his protagonist's deadpan reactions to both insane office politics and supernatural mayhem."--San Francisco Chronicle

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good Condition, first edition. Review from the Booklist: In the twenty-fifth century, human society has depended for several hundred years on faster-than-light travel and an artificial intelligence called the Eschaton. Interstellar colonies are scattered all over, and one, the New Republic, has become a classic refuge for antitechnological holdouts. But the New Republic is suddenly under attack, literally, by the technology it has tried to suppress, which now appears under the name the Festival. An Earth battle fleet is on the way, but is it coming to help, to ride to power on the coattails of the Festival, or to fulfill some entirely separate agenda, possibly set by the Eschaton, which has achieved consciousness, sentience, and probably a lust for power? If no element of Stross' novel is very original, all of them are formidably well-executed, especially the meticulous and imaginative portrayal of the New Republic and its Victorian technology. In addition, the book possesses the rare virtue of neither requiring nor precluding a sequel. Seller Inventory # 000079
