Apparently I liked this book a lot better than some people did, since i finished it. It was pretty slow going, as all the tech stuff was pretty dense. I would read for what seemed like an hour and find I'd only read maybe ten pages. The biggest mistake I made was that I began reading it while concurrently reading Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I do not recommend this! I finally decided to finish Cryptonomicon and then read something lighter before continuing with this one. normally i love stross books, but this was one i just couldn't finish. i even gave it twice the amount of rope i would give others, and there just wasn't anything to enjoy after 33% of the book had been read... not sure if it was the world being portrayed or an inability to care for the main character... i suppose at some point i'll try again, but not today... ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The Singularity. It is the era of the posthuman. Artificial intelligences have surpassed the limits of human intellect. Biotechnological beings have rendered people all but extinct. Molecular nanotechnology runs rampant, replicating and reprogramming at will. Contact with extraterrestrial life grows more imminent with each new day. Struggling to survive and thrive in this accelerated world are three generations of the Macx clan: Manfred, an entrepreneur dealing in intelligence amplification technology whose mind is divided between his physical environment and the Internet; his daughter, Amber, on the run from her domineering mother, seeking her fortune in the outer system as an indentured astronaut; and Sirhan, Amber's son, who finds his destiny linked to the fate of all of humanity. For something is systematically dismantling the nine planets of the solar system. Something beyond human comprehension. Something that has no use for biological life in any form...

This book is very dense with ideas. Some of the plot points are far-fetched or contrived, but he ties them together pretty well. ( )
