This is ultimate postcyberpunk ever" - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

"I can say without qualification that Greg Egan is the greatest science fiction author I've ever read" - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Kundenrezensionen

sci-di ,

A real way to immortality?

Marvellous in theory, magnificent in execution, but a shortcoming story with the characters. Out of many crazy theories the dust theory remains unchallenged for me.

What is decisive if you want this book: Do you want a complex outline of immortality with hypothetical worlds? And a metaphysical description at it’s heart?
