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

Hardback. Condition: Fair. In the far future, information demands to be free. In the twenty-first century, life as we know it changed. Faster-than-light travel was perfected, and the Eschaton, a superhuman artificial intelligence, was born. Four hundred years later, the far-flung colonies that arose as a result of these events--scattered over three thousand years of time and a thousand parsecs of space--are beginning to rediscover their origins. The New Republic is one such colony. It has existed for centuries in self-imposed isolation, rejecting all but the most basic technology. Now, under attack by a devastating information plague, the colony must reach out to Earth for help. A battle fleet is dispatched, streaking across the stars to the rescue. But things are not what they seem--secret agendas and ulterior motives abound, both aboard the ship and on the ground. And watching over it all is the Eschaton, which has its own very definite ideas about the outcome. Seller Inventory # 00100738027
