August Books 19) Diaspora, by Greg Egan

A book about a posthuman society – most people exist as virtual entities in the datanet of vast supercomputers – dealing with astrophysical disaster striking the earth and then trying to explore parallel universes. Lots of mathematical theory, but rather short on interesting characters or plot resolution; perhaps a bit like Stapledon without his trademark breathlessness. Glad to have finally ticked this off my list.

  1. I’m 86% unionist, and the only thing that surprises me is that I didn’t score higher.

    I really really do not want a separation and think that Belgium wastes way too much money on federalization. We’d be much better off if instead of parties divided by language, the parties just united again across language borders.
