Four hundred years in the future, in a world transformed by faster-than-light travel and the development of the Eschaton, a sentient artificial intelligence, the colony of New Republic, founded by people who wanted no part of the technological revolution, is threatened by an information plague of advanced technology that ignites chaos in the beleaguered colony.

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. In the far future, information demands to be free. In the twenty-first century, life as we know it changed. Faster-than-light travel was perfected, and the Eschaton, a superhuman artificial intelligence, was born. Four hundred years later, the far-flung colonies that arose as a result of these events--scattered over three thousand years of time and a thousand parsecs of space--are beginning to rediscover their origins. The New Republic is one such colony. It has existed for centuries in self-imposed isolation, rejecting all but the most basic technology. Now, under attack by a devastating information plague, the colony must reach out to Earth for help. A battle fleet is dispatched, streaking across the stars to the rescue. But things are not what they seem--secret agendas and ulterior motives abound, both aboard the ship and on the ground. And watching over it all is the Eschaton, which has its own very definite ideas about the outcome. Artikel-Nr. 00100738027

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Singularity Sky (2003) by Charles Stross. Published by Ace Books. First edition. First print. Book is in Near Fine condition with minor crease to lower spine and minor bend to pages (top text block). Belonging to a new generation of sf authors which came to prominence post-2000, Charles Stross captures perhaps better than anybody else the dizzying times of rapid technological development we live in. Where Accellerando (2005) fleshes out the lives of one family caught in the take-off phase of a technological singularity, Singularity Sky delivers an equally absurd tale of a society that all of a sudden is granted access to matter replication devices.
