British author Charles Stross, a writer currently about as hot as it’s possible for a writer to get, returns with the penultimate story in his acclaimed "Accelerando" sequence (which have included the Hugo finalists "Lobsters," "Halo," and the current finalist, "Nightfall") depicting the adventures of Manfred Macx and his daughter Amber in a strange, post-human future on the far side of a Vingean Singularity, in "Elector," set on a bizarre floating-lilypad habitat orbiting the gas giant Jupiter, Amber is a candidate in a strange but hotly contested election that might determine the future of the human race itself (or if the human race in anything even remotely like the form we know it is even going to have a future) . . . and must deal with some surprises even she couldn’t predict. This is Cutting Edge SF at its best; don’t miss it!
