I’ve been reading a heap of hard science-fiction lately (as I always do, yes yes I know), and one author who’s come up a few times with brilliant stories is Charles Stross. He’s worked with another of my favourite authors, Simon Ings, on some short stories some time ago, and is now writing mid-near-future satire (I suppose) about the information age (with fabulously inventive technological and social extrapolations), and alternate worlds stuff (satire also).

I mention him right now because his website has a an essay about the WTC thingummy. Entitled Needed: a new age of enlightenment, it gives a pretty good history of why we’re in the mess we’re in… Go read.
