All of the shtick from Accelerando in a much lighter rendition a'la Laundry series, with just a dash of Contact (the movie, not the book). I think it'll be next to impossible to enjoy this book without having at least a warm fuzzy feeling about the whole set of transhuman concepts. In that sense it is a joyride to Heaven for nerds. Rather inconsequential, nicely written, with some interesting tapdancing around some meta topics. Good fun.
