Festival of Fools
The early word from Danny O'Brien on Festival of Fools, the forthcoming novel by Charlie Stross, is very promising:
It's great fun, especially if you like singularities, time-travelling godlike posthumans, sassy future UN weapons inspectors, and superintelligent space-faring viral hive minds that appear to be based on the cultural flotsam of the Edinburgh Festival. Or, indeed, if you've ever wondered what would happen if Imperial Russian Navy tried to take on a post-scarcity nanotech orbital flotilla.What's not to like?

Sounds great. One more book added to the to-buy-list. I need to deal with the problem of disappearing shelf-space now.

I don't know about you, but for me shelf space is one of those secondary issues that you worry about after you've read the book. (He said, casting a guilty eye over piles of books that have been read and piled up in the corner of the room on whatever flat surface wasn't already occupied...)
