Full-time SciFi writer Charles Stross made available for free and under a Creative Commons license the e-book edition of his latest novel Accelerando: Stross (Singularity Sky) explores humanity's inability to cope with molecular nanotechnology run amok in this teeming near-future SF stand-alone.

You can download the e-book in various formats including HTML, RTF, Plucker, and Palm Doc.
