I very much enjoy anything by Vernor Vinge, who's a computer scientist. He explores the idea of a universe where, in some areas of space, p=np. But it's not a dry read, it's fun stuff.

- ridgeguy 10y agoSecond Vernor Vinge as a recommended author. A Deepness in the Sky is one of my all-time favorites.
