Identical twins Barry and Harry Krasner are house-sitting at their great-uncle's Midwest farm. It's peaceful at first, but soon they realize there's something about the farmhouse that makes locals stay far away. The twins are sure that the locked shed out back is their reason why – but what they find there is more shocking than anything they could have imagined.

In a technologically suppressed future, information demands to be free in the debut novel from Hugo Award-winning author Charlie Stross.In the twenty-first century, life as we know it changed. Faster-than-light travel was perfected, and the Eschaton, a superhuman artificial intelligence, was born. Four hundred years later, the far-flung colonies that arose as a result of these events—scattered over three thousand years of time and a thousand parsecs of space—are beginning to rediscover their origins. The New Republic is one such colony. It has existed for centuries in self-imposed isolation, rejecting all but the most basic technology. Now, under attack by a devastating information plague, the colony must reach out to Earth for help. A battle fleet is dispatched, streaking across the stars to the rescue. But things are not what they seem—secret agendas and ulterior motives abound, both aboard the ship and on the ground. And watching over it all is the Eschaton, which has its own very definite ideas about the outcome...

In the twenty-first century man created the Eschaton, a sentient artificial intelligence. It pushed Earth through the greatest technological evolution ever known, while warning that time travel is forbidden, and transgressors will be eliminated. Distant descendants of this ultra high-tech Earth live in parochial simplicity on the far-flung worlds of the New Republic. Their way of life is threatened by the arrival of an alien information plague known as the Festival. As forbidden technologies are literally dropped from the sky, suppressed political factions descend into revolutionary turmoil. A battle fleet is sent from Earth to destroy the Festival, but Spaceship engineer Martin Springfield and U.N. diplomat Rachel Mansour have been assigned rather different tasks. Their orders are to diffuse the crisis or to sabotage the New Republic's war-fleet, whatever the cost, before the Eschaton takes hostile action on a galactic scale.

Four hundred years in the future, in a world transformed by faster-than-light travel and the development of the Eschaton, a sentient artificial intelligence, the colony of New Republic, founded by people who wanted no part of the technological revolution, is threatened by an information plague of advanced technology that ignites chaos in the beleaguered colony.

DNA and neuronet-enhanced humanoids, able to morph rapidly to accommodate to new worlds, spread technological innovation wherever they go. The Singularity Wave thus sweeps through galaxy after galaxy. Nothing can stop it. Nothing can even slow it for long. It was just inevitable then that it would start to close in on alien civilizations, one after the other. Those civilizations have little choice but to be assimilated by the Singularity Wave that has caught everyone up in it. The Daytona commune of biohackers, located somewhere in backwoods Oregon, once again picks up the torch to champion the little guy. But their concerns go beyond protecting the rights of newly assimilated alien civilizations. They ask themselves, “Where are these other civilizations that came before us, which got caught up in their own Singularity Waves?” Determined to solve the mystery, Roman and Elsa once again board the Phantom Menace, the most advanced warbird known. Capitalizing on its capacity to chew through space-time like none other, the two lovers tunnel through the multiverse on an impossible quest. The answer to their question, however, is not what they expected, and it’s not what our Singularity Wave was prepared to come up against. Join them on their journey to save us all by picking up a copy today.
