About this title

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."
