Accelerando: Difference between revisions

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]] (Manfred's cat who is a combination of a [[Talking Animal]] and [[Robot Buddy]] and, it turns out, {{spoiler|is behind almost everything}})

* [[Patchwork Story]] (''Accelerando'' started its life as nine short stories)

** [[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 Singularity]]: the entire point of ''Accelerando''. ''Glasshouse'' on the other hand stars the people who survived it and decided it had been a really bad idea for the most part.
