I just reread Accelerando and had forgotten how good it was.

And, the book is -- legitimately -- available for free, in a variety of formats -- details on the author's blog:

Its the third book in a series of three, are the other two as good? Should I start with them or just skip to the third one?

I believe he wrote 3 books about the singularity (as opposed to one continuous story/series). I never read the other 2. You're safe starting with accelerando.

> Its the third book in a series of three

I don't think so. The book has 3 parts, but it's not part of a series
