Charles Stross's "visionary" (Library Journal) debut novel Singularity Sky was hailed as "a carnival of ideas" (Michael Swanwick) and sealed his reputation as the writer who "owns the cutting edge of science fiction" (James Patrick Kelly).

I'd just re-read Singularity Sky for a book club and decided to chase it with this.

Stacked up against Singualrity Sky its a better novel.

Yeah, not everything is neatly tied up in a bow, but I liked the characterization of Frank and Wednesday (hell, I even liked Svengali). Martin and Rachel put in appearances, but well, they're more there to provide exposition and move the plot along than anything else.

Now, as to the lack of a neat ending, I think that marks it a better piece of fiction than most. Besides, it makes me want more.
