Description
Accelerando is a multi-generational saga that explores the lives of a brilliant clan of posthumans in the early 21st century. As the world hurtles towards an era of rapid technological change, their world is turned upside down by a series of events that challenge everything they thought they knew.
The story follows Manfred, a charismatic figure who makes his living by spreading ideas and connecting people through his work with intelligence amplification technology. But when his pet robot cat stumbles upon some intriguing information from the SETI data, Manfred's life - and the lives of those around him - are forever changed.
