[extropy-chat] Accelerando Technical Companion

[Neil Halelamien]

As mentioned previously on this list, Charlie Stross just released his
new novel, Accelerando, which follows three generations of a family
through the Singularity. The novel is available as a free download
here:

I'm only partly through the novel myself, and noticed that it can be
technically quite dense. To help others get a better understanding of
the concepts involved and perhaps even provide more information on the
current state-of-the-art, I've started a Technical Companion for
Accelerando over on Wikibooks:

It's of course still incredibly preliminary, and contributions are
welcome. Just click "edit."
