	The SF Site Featured Review: The Hidden Family / Accelerando
		Accelerando is Stross's latest and greatest statement in post-human science fiction, taking ideas about the information singularity, post-scarcity economics, nano-tech, bio-tech and artificial intelligence several steps beyond their use in his novels, Singularity Sky and The Iron Sunrise.
		While the ideas at play in Accelerando, and the style in which they are presented, place the novel right at the artistic edge of SF, the theme of the gallant individual struggling in the face of a vast, incomprehensible universe connects the novel directly to the classical tradition of hard-core science fiction.
		Taken together, published as they were in a two-month period, they are evidence of a major talent at the top of his form, a writer capable of simultaneously invoking the best of classic SF and pushing the boundaries of the field.

	Linear Accelerando
		Next might be: exponential accelerando, then tighter integration with JMSL (ie an interpreter that can do this without directly changing the durations of a MusicShape, for example).
		Accelerando is expressed as beats/sec change over some number of beats.
		Notice that the total accelerando time for both is the same.

	Accelerando Technical Companion - Wikibooks
		Accelerando is not a "post-Singularity" novel but rather a "through-Singularity" novel as it takes the reader from our days (the first chapter "Lobsters" can be situated around 2010) through a Singularity to a sketched post-Singularity world.
		Manfred is already borderline posthuman, and he's struggling to keep up; within a generation he's an obsolete burnout case, his daughter Amber has transmigrated into a simulation space hosted aboard a one kilogram starship, and they're dismantling the solar system to build more brains.
		In Accelerando, post-Singularity posthumans convert much of the Solar System's mass to Computronium to sustain the huge volume of computation, including "running" uploaded humans, characteristic of a post-Singularity civilization.

	Charles Stross Accelerando Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		'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.
		As 'Accelerando' begins, Manfred Macx is busy inventing new technologies on a daily basis, his mind split between the confines of his skull and the uncharted wilds of the Internet.
		Of course, all the human characters in 'Accelerando' have serious competition in the form of the technology, itself a major character.

	: RevolutionSF - Accelerando : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Accelerando was one of the big releases of last summer.
		The result is a book that seems to shift genres as it moves along, switching from post-cyberpunk to space opera as the chapters flick past.
		Stross is undeniably a fearsomely intelligent writer and Accelerando sees him slyly subvert genre conventions by replacing physics techno-babble with computer science techno-babble as all talk of wormholes and FTL is glossed over in favour of discussions of routers, bandwidth and MIPS.

		Accelerando also stands at an odd angle to the ‘utopian’ strain that so many critics (like Fredric Jameson) have seen as central to science fiction.
		But for me, the best parts of Accelerando have to do, not with its florid imaginings, but with its presentation of what really cannot be imagined.
		Indeed, when the human protagonists of Accelerando finally meet an alien entity, not only does it take on the material form of a gigantic slug, but it turns out to be, rather hilariously, a “parasitic organism… the Economics 2.0 equivalent of a pyramid scheme crossed with a 419 scam” (295).

		This is best seen in the short stories he wrote from June of 2001 though December of 2004, the multi-generational tale of the Macx family, spanning the years leading up to, during, and well past what often gets called the Singularity.
		Accelerando as a bound book is due out in the US the beginning of next month, but Stross has joined a growing list of authors who recognize that, in many cases, giving away your work actually increases sales.
		What makes Accelerando particularly appealing to me is Stross' depiction of the world, the noises and flows and people.

		If you want to get a taste of what it might be like if you were suddenly shifted ahead in time a hundred or more years, try 'Accelerando'.
		The book is slightly overlong - the last section being a bit tedious, and some of the relationships between characters made it seem like a hi-tech soap opera at times.
		Fast paced and fun, but you need to be a computer nerd, a post-modern economist and a futurologist to really understand it.

		When Charles Stross decided to give away the ebook version of his recent novel Accelerando for free, using a Creative Commons license, he did it in the hope of stimulating the sales of the p-book.
		By releasing a free download, he can get a wider readership which–if the book is good–will create better word of mouth.
		But now Stross is thinking of taking things a step further: if Accelerando would ever drop out of print, he may donate the copyrights to the work to Project Gutenberg.
