Accelerando - Charles Stross

[handslive]

I downloaded the HTML version of this ages ago and only got around to reading it when it was the only book close to hand on the plane.  Atrocity Archive is probably my favourite fiction by this author, but this story gives it a good run for its money.  Now I'm going to have to find a paper version, I guess, for ease of lending -- most people not enjoying web page based novel reading (how to bookmark on the fly?) or having their own readers that will convert from HTML.

I used TealDoc to read this book, but I'm running an older version of the software.  The converter had a few problems with the text, which I would fix up in emacs next time, like – for dashes that the converter just left as the raw character entity.  This is the kind of thing that would probably annoy lots of other people, but didn't really phase me at all.
