Accelerando
by Charles Stross
His greatest novel to date, Accelerando is an epic of many generations after a brilliant clan of people after the death of the 21st century. The year is a time between 2010 and 2015. The recession is over, but the population is aging and the pace of technological change is accelerating dizzyingly. Manfred makes a living to spread ideas, put people in touch with each other and let technology leap and bound. He lives on the front lines of intelligence augmentation technology, but even Manfred is able to take on a lot of things. And when he gets some interesting insights from the domestic robot cat set data, his world — and the world of his descendants — turns to his head.
