As I recall, _Accelerando_ is unremittingly dark. Although one could say
that the "Flower Prince" trilogy has a happy ending for some, everyone
and everything else gets unhappened. It's a fun read, though.

I did read like 3/4 of it and it was entertaining, but really naive. I think it might have been that same trumpet project?
Yeah, that was probably it. In practice, statists will have the best
technology. Because they have the most resources.

I'm not really into utopian. Dystopian is more fun. If you enjoy
fantasy, I highly recommend Joe Abercrombie's "The First Law" trilogy.
It's rather a satire on "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Also Matthew
Stover's "Caine" series. Caine basically channels Aleister Crowley ;)
