Eww @wolfie_rankin - Gross. Dehumanizing.

Heads up: this is a spec-fi (nee sci-fi, per Harlan Ellison - Dangerous Visions intro) nerd out plane-crossed with synchronicity nerd out, etc, (raw me-style, which is to say ... potentially hard to follow):

I've rarely identified more, or more personally powerfully, frustratingly, uncomfortably, illuminatingly ... with a literary character than Manfred Macx in Charles Stross' Accelerando. Except for his (thus far, only about 1/3 into it) refutation of nature/the (divinity) of nature. 

Also, its crazy about this book. For a ridiculously long time (it came out in 2005) I often had the title running repeatedly in my head for days, weeks, months - yet I never even picked it up to read once until I found it happenstance (hahaha, as if, #synchronicity!) in a #pdx #littlefreelibrary last week, without even realizing the title, just seeing the author and rapidly parsing the dust jacket overview (I probably read some of the pre-cursor shorts in Asimov's 2001-2005). I was a bit tingly when I got home and realized just what it was I had picked up, and then immediately dove in. 

This book is crucible for me, and honestly, had I read it before the last few months of earth shattering experience and #piyemor, it would not ... well, it wouldn't be what, all, everything, that it is being. 

Honestly, I for whatever reason often conflate/confuse Stross and Robert J. Sawyer (its the mind blowing, somehow similar despite being disparate; - Calculating God is a formational piece of my worldview and figures heavily in my reading of Accelerando - and, for robustness sake, I might as well mention the other big co-relational read, Ian McDonald's River of Gods - another formational piece which i shove on anyone I think might be halfway up to it. Yes, obviously William Gibson's entire body of work as well ... And David Brin, Alastair Reynolds, and, and, and, and ...)

So, in conclusion, this has no particular point to it, except to say WHOA WTF AMAZING. Also its time to work my shit to fucking publish. Also I need to dig into pushing our digital common collaboration resources and tools into what they could easily already be, because FUCK, we could be Macxin out, want to be Macxin out ... need, are needed, to be macxin out, in service to wealleverything).
