Like the golden age SF of the '60s and the cyberpunk of the '80s, the singularity SF is emblematic of the '00s. And there's hardly a better example of the phenomenon than Accelarando.
Re-reading it after almost 20 years, the book has clearly aged - but it also still shines, perhaps even more so, because so much of the technoscientologic corporate bullshit it extrapolates is actually happening - being made to happen, by those who took the singularity gospel as, well, gospel. Stross was (and is) quite uniquely on point when it comes to pointing out the multitude of moral, ethical and simply economical problems with such people.
Polish translation (Próchniewicz) is quite brilliant.
