Accelerando by Charles Stross is a blast, fairly hard scifi, at least the first half. Blindsight by Peter Watts is also fantastic, same grade as Egan IMO.

- badcppdev 3y agoAgree. And whenever I see someone recommend Peter Watts I feel the need to add a note warning that he's got a lot of sexual torture stuff in his work so might not be to everyone's taste.
- TwentyPosts 3y ago...There's sexual torture content in Blindsight? Or in his short stories? Having read several of them, I really don't remember anything like that. Can you note some examples?
- 082349872349872 3y agoIt's off-page in Blindsight, but happens to the protagonist, right?
- badcppdev 3y agoI'd rather not. That stuff isn't my cup of tea. Why don't you just google it.
- selimthegrim 3y agoI think they are talking about the trilogy with Starfish

- snovv_crash 3y agoA little different, but Fallen Dragon by Peter F Hamilton scratches the same itch for me.
