Did anybody else have difficulty reading Accelerando? I tried reading it once, found it boring and stopped after the first few pages, then later on got a considerably longer way in before quitting but it still took a bit of an active effort. Not sure of what the exact reason was, since I've liked some of Stross's other works (but not all of them).
I liked it (Manfred Macx is a great extrapolation of Google Glass-style technology) but it got slow for me roughly halfway through and I'm currently stalled at the 62% point. I haven't read any other Stross (though I enjoyed the sample chapter or two that I read of Rule 34).
I enjoy reading singularity themed sci-fi especially if it focuses on bootstrapping and power leveling. Most recently, I read Stross and Doctrow's Rapture of the Nerds ( http://craphound.com/rotn/download/ the third part is especially interesting), and the my little pony fanfic Friendship is Optimal ( http://www.fimfiction.net/story/62074/friendship-is-optimal ). I happened upon a link to the latter on this site and it was a nice surprise. However, I'd prefer to be kept abreast of new releases in this genre in a more reliable way and I'm guessing many others here would as well. Accordingly I propose that we exchange recommendations in this thread, or if there is already such a thread that somebody link to it.
