- gonvaled 10y agoExcellent!
- impostervt 10y agoIf you liked this, you may like "House of Suns" by Alastair Reynolds. There's one chase scene that takes about 60,000 years.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoI believe Larry Niven had one as well; I don't remember how long it lasted, due to relativistic effects. The Ethics of Madness, I think it was called.
- wiml 10y agoI think it lasted indefinitely. Both people had life-extension technology on their ships and they were Bussard ramjets of the "can accelerate forever" variety. Another classic relativistic story is Pohl's _Starburst_.
- andrewflnr 10y agoHouse of Suns generally seemed to make me viscerally feel Deep Time. I was rather impressed with that aspect in particular.
- kchoudhu 10y ago"The Forever War" was my first introduction to this form of time stretching. I actively search out authors who incorporate it into their storytelling, so I was thrilled when I stumbled across Alastair Reynolds' writing. I think I have all of his books now.
- pasbesoin 10y agoVinge's "A Deepness in the Sky".
- cookingrobot 10y agoI recommend Permutation City. https://www.amazon.com/Permutation-City-Greg-Egan-ebook/dp/B00FDWCPV2#navbar https://www.amazon.com/Permutation-City-Greg-Egan-ebook/dp/B...
