I read Accelerando recently and it's great.
Hard to believe that it was written in 2005 given the one scene where the main character is walking around generating multiple interlocking crypto contracts to store money for his daughter.

There's a line in there that feels like it could pop up in a permutation city sequel:
> ... running a timing channel attack on the computational ultrastructure of spacetime itself, trying to break through to whatever's underneath...
Does that idea come up anywhere else in your work? If so, I'd go read it.
I should add: every time I hear the phrase "state vector" I think of Accelerando.
