Title: Snapshots of the future?
Review: For me this is Charles Stross's best book. In a sense though its not a complete book, more a collection of short stories, keeping most of the same characters, at different moments of the future. That's is strength for me, because each story is quite strong and deals with a specific theme, but I can see that others wouldn't like that.Another attraction is wish fulfillment. If the future was like this, I'd be happy :) It's a bit like Bank's Culture novels and wanting to live there - not that this book is anything like the Culture - it's humanity's journey from now to 'post-singularity'.If you want some fascinating speculation on what life will be like for us in the technological future I have to really recommend this. There isn't another book quite like it.
