He's everywhere, and not just as a PR presence, he's actually involved. I've had a couple of interactions with him on Reddit where he politely drive-by corrected me (a real brush with fame for me). Add to that everything he's written on antipope (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=antipope.org) and I find it amazing he gets commercial work done at all.
The first third of Accelerando is a tour de force - the ideas-per-page ratio is just phenomenal, and 20 years ago it left me feeling future-shocked. But it's pulp, in the sense that it's very much rooted in the time it was written (the curse of near-future SF). If anyone knows of any works that idea-dense but written in the 2020s, I'd love to hear about them. Short fiction especially.
