Haha, lul, that title did seem to stand out a bit from the other ones, but I didn’t read the des.
I might start with Index, Codex, or Saturn - but I’ve intentionally skipped reading the synopsis (not as a spoiler, I’m indifferent to those, just as adhd management to ‘start the thing’ - by keeping the info simple it might seem like an easier pick for my brainhole to chose & allow me to perform the activity, and I feel like I don’t need to do much more research on the author or specific books).
He’s also made some damn insightful comments over the years. I wish a little less insightful in this case. He had a programming background and usually isn’t full of shit.
“The Merchant Prince’s” series is deep into pre-Great Recession liberal economics, but still a pretty good read.

Thx for this, added a few of his books to the list of things I need to consume.
Don’t start with Accelerando, or do if you’re a little bit weird.

Rule 34 in particular is an excellent read, and expands on some of the concepts in the post.
Risky click of the day.
Excellent title.
