Haven’t read, looks good, added to list.
I remember those gloating and gaslighting per oh I don’t know an eighteen month castaway treatment.
A lot of Egan's novels feel hard to digest/get through because of the density of his ideas and explanations, but Diaspora is one of my favorites.
His short stories are way better for me personally, I'm a big fan of the compilation Axiomatic.
Awesome will check that out
love cybepunk sci-fi stuff, just finished snow crash and neuromancer collection by gibson and those where a trip i’d revisit anytime! haven’t read/listened to diaspora but will do when i’ve finished ready player two ;-)
Just purchased it. Will let you know.
I haven't read that one but Dichronauts was fantastic. I'll have to check out Diaspora.
I've read a few by Egan, I usually like the world-building part (~first third of the book), the story & characters less so. Diaspora is next on my list
