Greg Egan

I've finished and I am exhausted and elated and confused and my brain is melted, but also maybe it grew a little? I don't know. What I do know is that I knew nothing about this book before and now I'm utterly obsessed and completely in love with it and the author.

I'm getting so behind on talking more in depth about the books that have absolutely blown my mind, but I will be back to this. Suffice to say this has been one of the most unique, exhilarating, and uniquely exquisite experiences I have ever had with a book.

A book like this is never going to win the bestest, most book ever award (like putting numbers and ribbons on art actually means anything anyway...), but this is without a doubt one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

I feel fundamentally changed and envigorated! I already likened the experience of reading this book and attempting to comprehend the concepts it explores as to coming up on class As, but this feels akin to a secular religious experience--I am changed, my perspective has changed, and I have a whole new areas of science, fiction, and science fiction I now know make my brain glow incandescently and melt, and I love that for me.

I am feeling so unbelievably inspired and have already started working on a TTRPG that translates eigenstates and wave forms into mechanics, unifying the dice the protagonist in the book, people in the world of the game, and players at the table...I think. Point is my brain is tingling and I'm inspired

Oh baybee! I have so much more incoherent, hyperfixated, autistic excitement to vent, but for now, spectacular book is spectacular!… (meer)
