It's difficult to recommend this book, because it has a structure so unlike anything I've read before–Stross manages to tie together 6 or 7 stories, all of which can (and did, I think) stand on their own, without getting repetitive or confusing, and then end it all with a bang. This would make a great comic book serial, in that sense, if drawings of Matroishka brains could be interesting enough. You will likely either hate or love this book; I loved it.

Got this on a recommendation from Warren Ellis, so it's fitting there is a quick Transmet reference (don't blink!).

Also: Keep an eye on the cat.
