Book Review: Diaspora by Greg Egan

Let me take a moment to write a review of Diaspora by Greg Egan. ...Have I been drinking? yes. Keep that in mind.

This book is serious hard-core math-fiction which you can find in you $1.00 bin. I cannot believe that it's in the dollar bin. Wait, I can. People voted for Obama for NO REASON so of course they would put a fine work of sci-fi in the bargain bin because they are functionally retarded.

Anyway, this story is out there, man. Like 6-dimensional Reimann space out there. You have to visit his website here to figure out the math, but it is worth it.

You start with the birth of an artificial being. You ponder what it means to be alive- to be real. You move through space, you contemplate consciousness, you ponder death, you end up as a being in a 5-D universe... you witness the destruction of the galaxy from the safe distance of 1 millimeter.

Anyway, I had no idea what was going on, but yet I did. As an added bonus, this author is from Australia, so his book is completely understandable from a language perspective unlike another fav author of mind, Charles Stross who is British, so that means that his writing is incredibly annoying. Pretty much like talking to an actual British person.

Wetzel out.
