I recently read Glasshouse and loved it (I'm trying to find an author I like as much as Philip k Dick, and Stross could potentially be the one!). I'm curious, would Glasshouse be considered Space Opera?
Anyways, what I'm really wondering about is his earlier Space Opera novels, like Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise. How are they? I don't hear people mention these very often. Usually when Stross' name comes up it's in regards to Halting State or one of it sequels. I may check those out sometime, but i'm mostly interested in his books that are more classicly SF...if you know what i mean...
Would Singularity Sky appeal to a fan of Iain M. Banks? It seems like it would be a novel in the vein of Banks. And would you put it in the same category as Saturn's Children, which is also supposed to be space opera?
