I absolutely LOVE Accelerando. I've recommended it to everyone I meet for years.

If you're looking for other great sci-fi reads:

John Ringo - Live free or die

John Varley - Titan (-> Wizard / Demon)

Charles Stross - Singularity Sky

Vernor Vinge - A Fire Upon the Deep / A Deepness in the Sky

Robert Heinlein - Stranger in a Strange Land

Dan Simmons - Hyperion

Alastair Reynolds - Revelation Space / The Prefect

Orson Scott Card - Enders game

Isaac Asimov - Foundation

I think of the books by Charles Stross halting state and rule 34 are both better books and give a better 15 minutes into the future feeling.

Halting state might be a bit dated but rule 34 absolutely holds up.

I think Singularity Skies pales in comparison with the depth and breadth of Accelerando.

Ender's Game and Foundation are timeless classics, and I suspect, Accelerando will eventually become one.
