You should try Greg Egan's books, if you like SF at all. I think a good introduction would be Schild's Ladder or Axiomatic, but my personal favorite is the Clockwork Rocket trilogy and Dichromatic.
The latter two are conceptually related. If you know about metric signatures, you'll be able to tell how. If not, well, you will.
- gjm11 7y agoCorrection: Dichronauts, not Dichromatic. (DuckDuckGo is smart enough to find the right book; Google kinda-sorta is -- it's the first image search result but doesn't otherwise appear in the first page of results, at least for me; Amazon's search isn't.)
- Filligree 7y agoRight, of course. I blame gboard.
- AgentME 7y agoSeconding Greg Egan. I'd highly recommend Permutation City and Diaspora by him. The books explore mind uploading from lots of interesting angles.
- cgriswald 7y agoThanks for the suggestion. Very appreciated!
