Accelerando with delivery to Ireland

In Accelerando, Stross presents a vision of humanity's future generated by extrapolating not only the state of science but, above all, the development of economics – something classic science fiction has so far overlooked. Stross draws heavily on the laws of economics, making his protagonist an international entrepreneur. In Stross's account, economic evolution ultimately leads to corporations attaining consciousness. Charles Stross's Accelerando is an excellent example of serious speculation about the future of humanity and civilisation, something Polish science fiction abandoned long ago.
