I'm re-reading Accelerando by Charles Stross. There are a few books that are like intellectual ambrosia to me. This is one of them, at least the first part. It's now under the creative commons license and available for free. I very much identify with Manfred Macx. Manfred doesn't believe in scarcity, zero-sum games or competition. I would love to create a hierarchy of virtual companies and write their regulations in Python.
