For what its worth, Egan has written a few works that follow up on, and expand, the ideas presented in Permutation City. Most notably Diaspora and Schild's Ladder. So there's more to enjoy after you finish it :-)
- squeaky-clean 10y agoI actually bought Diaspora and Axiomatic while still within the first few chapters of Permutation City because I liked it so much. That was on the tail end of a sci-fi binge though, and I haven't read Diaspora yet, or much sci-fi since. Next time I feel like it though, I know I've got a very good backlog waiting for me. Here's hoping I don't want to finish his other novels either :)
- Phemist 10y agoPermutation City's ending is actually quite uplifting. Has a very Star Trek-like "To boldly go where no man has gone before" feel to it. On the other hand, I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to finish Diaspora. Although its opening chapter is fantastic.
