* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]:
* [[Apocalypse How]]: A variation on Stellar, in the sense that the solar system isn't destroyed per se, just converted from dumb mass to computronium by the Vile Offspring. The (trans)humans who weren't active (or involuntary) participants got the hell out while the getting was good.
* [[Augmented Reality]]: Pretty much everybody.
* [[Cats Are Snarkers]] / [[Cats Are Superior]]: Aineko lives for this.
* [[Brain Uploading]]:
* [[Fantastic Religious Weirdness]]:
** To say nothing of the difficulties inherent in facing Mecca to pray while you're in space.
* [[Invisible Aliens]]:
* [[Generational Saga]]
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]:
* [[Patchwork Story]]:
* [[The Singularity]]:
* [[Space Elevator]]:
* [[Transhuman Treachery]]: The Vile Offspring became so technologically and neurologically divergent
==Glasshouse==
''[[Glasshouse]]'' is a standalone novel, according to [[Word of God]]: '[http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2013/06/crib-sheet-glasshouse.html I ''originally'' wanted to use the "Accelerando" setting for other novels, including "Glasshouse", but decided it was too cluttered/unpredictable. So "Glasshouse" is a stand-alone]' However, fan thought at the time of the TVT/ATT fork was that ''Glasshouse'' was a sequel to ''Accelerando'', so it has some tropes on this page. Rather than simply deleting those tropes, they have been moved here until ''Glasshouse'' gets its own page.
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]:
* [[Memory Gambit]]:
* [[Mind Virus]]: "CuriousYellow", a virus that's done an unknown amount of damage...because one of the things the virus did was erase the memories of anyone who knew why it was released in the first place.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In ''Glasshouse'', [[The Virus|Curious Yellow]] is named after to the Swedish film ''I Am Curious (Yellow)'' (or more directly, after a paper about computer worm design).
** [[La Résistance|the Linebarger Cats]] are named in honor of Paul Linebarger, who literally wrote the book on psychological warfare, and his well-known proclivity for cats and [[Catgirl|catgirls]]. He's better known to sci-fi fans as [[Cordwainer Smith]]. One of the cover companies the Cats use is Cordwainer Heavy Industries. Another is the [[Kill Bill|Deadly Viper Assassination Squad]].
* [[The Virus]]:
