Charlie,
This crib sheet is fascinating. Thanks for putting it together. As some of the comments reflect, Accelerando was also the first book I read of yours and I is still one of my favorites to date. It was a mindbending experience bc I read the book right after Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" and I felt like you brought so many of these concepts to life. The early Manfred is still an inspiration to me as I am somewhat of a serial founder of startups myself...
When I read it I thought the jumps in the narrative were brilliantly intentional, reflecting the steep and incomprehensible shifts inherent in a singularity event. Now come to find out these were the product of the underlying short story material. Hah! Cool.
