- __jal 10y agoJust to run down this alley, highly seconded. It is a great, if somewhat depressing, novel. _Echopraxia_ is a continuation of the themes/story, and is just as good (and also depressing). I personally put Watts near the top of the list of first-rate, active science fiction authors.
- eduren 10y agoHis eye for hard science is very keen. I love that he has notes at the end of Blindsight that try to dig deeper into the approaches he had taken in the writing and add background. I couldn't put Echophraxia down. I might hazard that I like it more than Blindsight but it'd be hard to put in words. Which do you enjoy more?
