Book Description:
Expanding upon his award-winning short story cycle from the pages of Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Charles Stross-author of such revolutionary science fiction novels as Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise-delivers the story fans have been anticipating with Accelerando, a novel destined to change the face of the genre.
For three generations, the Macz family has struggled to cope with the rampant technological achievements that have rendered humans near obsolete. And mankind's end encroaches even closer when something starts to dismantle the nine planets of the solar system in an effort to annihilate all biological lifeforms.

This was an exhausting, but rewarding, book to read. It is incredibly dense, with lots and LOTS of stuff going on at all times. I had to take breaks and read entire other books between spates of this one. The frenetic pace and sheer density of Cool Stuff in his worldbuilding reminded me of Neal Stephenson, especially Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon.
