        He's one of my favourite authors but I've not caught Schilds Ladder yet. I discovered Greg Egan as a teenager from a random pick of Diaspora from my local library sometime pre 2000. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll add it to my list

            It was dense, I was potentially a little bit young. It was amazing :)

        I have actually done (very little) work on quantum graphs so I'm not scared by technical stuff :-P, thanks for the recommendations!

            Mathematician, so the less cool version, but yeah I had seen his website, it's really awesome (and I'm also a fan of the fake pictures of him lmao).

    You had me at hard sci-fi - didn't read on because I really don't like spoilers. If I said I liked the Mars trillogy and Seveneves, I'd like this book right?

      In my view the writing is more Kim Stanley Robinson than Neil Stephenson. Good chance you'll like it though, Greg Egan is great.
