@niplav A good list with several books I really wanna read at some point.

Sadly if I did something similar it would simply be all Greg Egan books :P Maybe a few Kim Stanley Robinson's too...

@AlexMulkerrin and I, on the other hand, have to read the greg egan novels—i guess for every favorites list there is a to-read sublist out there

@niplav heh, funny how that works out sometimes :D

Well off the top of my head I'd probably be promoting:

#1 Diaspora for the best depiction of virtual persons I've ever seen.
#2 Schild's Ladder for the adventure of unleashing a universal X-risk and the race to halt it.
#3 Permutation City; all about Cellular Automata so good but also weird cults too?
#4-N pretty much all the collections of short stories which have some vcool concepts

Orthogonal is bit weird, no Relativity in the setting :!?

@AlexMulkerrin
Yeah I skimmed through the first couple pages of Schild's ladder and this looks *exactly* like the stuff what's up my alley
