Is that the same Charlie Stross that writes the James-bond-meets-Cthulhu-IT-worker books?

The Laundry Files! Never heard about it, added to my reading list.

They’re pretty fun little books, fairly unique little setup.

Also wrote Singularity Sky, where a continent-sized cruise ship starts dropping magical gifts onto a medieval planet.

And the short story A Colder War.

Colder war was what got me interested in him, great short story.
