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.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good Condition, first edition. Review from the Booklist: In the twenty-fifth century, human society has depended for several hundred years on faster-than-light travel and an artificial intelligence called the Eschaton. Interstellar colonies are scattered all over, and one, the New Republic, has become a classic refuge for antitechnological holdouts. But the New Republic is suddenly under attack, literally, by the technology it has tried to suppress, which now appears under the name the Festival. An Earth battle fleet is on the way, but is it coming to help, to ride to power on the coattails of the Festival, or to fulfill some entirely separate agenda, possibly set by the Eschaton, which has achieved consciousness, sentience, and probably a lust for power? If no element of Stross' novel is very original, all of them are formidably well-executed, especially the meticulous and imaginative portrayal of the New Republic and its Victorian technology. In addition, the book possesses the rare virtue of neither requiring nor precluding a sequel. Artikel-Nr. 000079

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.
