Agreed, great book. Anyone who enjoys thinking about the extremes of possible life might also enjoy Blindsight by Peter Watts. It blew my mind about the nature of thought and consciousness in the same way dragon's egg blew my mind about the nature of time and consciousness.

- idiotsecant 4y agoI could have sworn there was a popular SCP by the same name! I will check this out, thanks!

- bashinator 4y agoJust finished rereading that for the first time in ages. I don’t agree with a lot of its opinion on consciousness, but still great read. I was surprised at how in line with Dark Forest theory it is.
