Can i just say Greg Egan. Australian Guy, has 3 novels and a collection of short stories, should be on sale in hodges and figgis in Dublin.

This guy can just make your head hurt lots and lots!!!!espically if you have an understanding of basic science cos then it just scares ya.

At least thats my 2 cents.

in short Quarantine by Greg Egan.

I would suggest you pick up Analogue SF magazine, out of about 10 hort SF stories there are a few really good ones usually each issue.

Hmm, read all 3600 pages, did you think it was only "ok"? I quite enjoyed it tbh, best opera type in a long time

It might be a tad better than ok .

BTW I manage to obtain that book, you recommended, Relevation Space and just started reading it.

It's cool, just don't be put off by the hard-to-track "what year are we in now" flashbacks.

Glad you thought more of Reality Dys
