It's not set in the Culture universe, though, which is what I'm missing. Maybe I should just reread those books :) I'd be interested to hear what you think of <i>Accelerando</i> once you've read it.

You’ve inspired me to read Accelerando - I read Stross’ Glasshouse this year and enjoyed that.

And I started reading Footfall a while back and only got 20 pages in. I’m relieved to hear that it wasn’t worth persevering.
