| Accelerando http://www.accelerando.org |
| Charles Stross ( - ) http://www.antipope.org/charlie/index.html |
Winner of the 2006 Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, along with multiple nominations and awards for the original novelette componants.
"Accelerando fast forwards a not-so-average family through three generations and into a future in which humans seem far more alien than any critters from outer space. With heart, humor and extreme technophilia, Stross embarks on a voyage that unwires humanity and rewires readers to experience the Singularity. Welcome to the Rapture of the Nerds." -- Rick Kleffel
