The New Republic is under attack by a post-singularity civilization called the Festival, which starts a information plague on what is a rejectionist society. The results is a revolutionary upheaval which causes the New Republics leadership to attack the Festival. Since they don't want the revolution to happen in the first place they decide to do a little time travel for a surprise attack. That again brings forward the interest of the Eschaton, a de-facto god who likes his position very much and has therefore banned time travel. Mix in a few agents and you have quite a roll.
Charles Stross comments on nearly everything. Social structures (including Marxism and Feudalism), the folly of human greed. Religion, gods, post-singularity type of entertainment etc etc etc.
This books reads like a satire. It is propably meant as one. There is enough action and tech-talk. Even though the latter was a bit much for my undereducated (at least concerning quantum physics) mind. The characters and their respective culture shocks are highly enjoyable. I recommend this book fully.
