Just picked that one because I thought it was particularly interesting, but the other ones are pretty good, too, like the second start-up death march: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2009/06/how_i_go...

Or you can read the complete series here: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/who_am_i/autobio-all-redacte...

If you don't know Charles Stross, he's an SF author and he also has a hacker news account. I read one book by him, Halting State, which is about a break-in in an MMO vault among other things. It had the most real-feeling near future SF settings I've come across.


Accelerando and my others are highly recommended as well.


Also, the Laundry series.
