- thrance 2y agoSeconded, I also deeply recommend "Diaspora", by the same author. It might be a bit more accessible than "Permutation City".
- teekert 2y agoFor as far as any Greg Egan's stuff can be called accessible... I guess in a way you could call a thrilling story with the theme: "What if human observation DIDN'T cause quantum wave function collapse" (Greg Egan: Quarantine) the same as making Quantum Mechanics "accessible" :D Same goes for many of Ted Chiang's stories!
- T-A 2y agoFor a shorter read, there's his "Crystal Nights": https://www.gregegan.net/MISC/CRYSTAL/Crystal.html https://www.gregegan.net/MISC/CRYSTAL/Crystal.html
