The Atrocity Archives and Jennifer Morgue are amongst some of the funniest and geekiest SF I've read in a long time, and his other novels are up there with Alastair Reynolds, Richard Morgan, and the best (i.e. first three) William Gibson.

I've only read the Glasshouse, which was very average, and appeared to be a writer firing on all cylinders, and still not getting beyond pulp fiction. Much of it seemed to be for shock effect, with a very studied attempt at casualness that just didn't work. Perhaps Glasshouse was a weak moment for Stross, but to label this guy as a hot writer is pushing it. I find this hard to believe.
