I was looking for new sci-fi authors and Amazon recommended Charles Stross. Never heard of him before but now I am glad I did. They must have some crazy drugs in England because this book blew my mind.
"Singularity Sky"
Singularity Sky is in the category of "super far out in the future science fiction" and it delivered. I have no idea how accurate the content was but I was sufficiently convinced and impressed with the author's breadth of biology, astronomy, physics, engineering, political theory and creativity. I didnt try to understand too much though; just sat there and enjoyed the ride.
The main characters are likable and amenable to sequels. Except for the heavy political theory, the story was an easy read that reminded me of Tad Williams' Otherland series where anything you can imagine could happen. And does.
Not my favorite book perhaps but I am glad I read it and I will be looking for more books by Mr. Stross.
