Diaspora by Greg Egan is one of the most amazing books I've ever read, in terms of the ideas it explores. A serious treatment of the future where humans' minds are scanned into machines: what senses do you have in a virtual world?

Great suggestions! However, any discussion of Greg Egan is not complete without "Diaspora"! A novel about a world where most humans' minds have been scanned into a benevolent, human-operated machine world like The Matrix. Bes

How is it unfair to tenants? Tenants sign a lease for a period of time with a fixed price. The lease's fixed price protects both parties. When that lease is up, the landlord and tenant should be free to negotiate a new price. If tenant
