Sky of Singularity - Strauss Charles (art. 978-966-10-6615-0)

Lie and open your phone by the swamp of a swampy provincial street. If you answer the call, you can get all your phone calls cheaply. Two such telephones are a miracle, a dozen are a hassle for the local gendarmerie, a hundred are stabbed to death by anarchists... But why are there thousands of such telephones? And why is this sweetness the alarm of the old world? And why is this alarm not yet heard by anyone: retrogrades and dark people? New lovers of upgrades and revolution? What about the whole family arrangement and, perhaps, living within the radius of several dozen light fates? “Sky of Singularity” - the debut novel of the famous British science fiction writer Charles Stross - written on a hard sf and space opera; He is drawn to the traditional themes for the author: technological singularity, rising prices and... the collapse of traditional politics and economics, and also the conflict of the totalitarian Ludic power with soulless progress.
