Permutation City by Greg Egan is my fave.

Haven't read it. What's it about?

It deals with the question if there are gaps in consciousness or not and if there is a difference between a simulated person and a real one. Some guy thinks there isnt because of what he has "lived" and so spends all his money on a simulation of a universe. He runs it for a bit then turns it off. His reasoning being that it will somehow continue nonetheless. It does, he kills himself, and the simulated people live in simulation for thousands of years. Shit goes wrong. Then end.

I'm a fan of the wasteland anthology. Seriously good collection.

Has anyone here read The Book of the New Sun? I finished it recently and am now halfway through Urth of the New Sun, but I never see anyone here discussing Wolfe's work.

Because you are either a lieing filthy shill, or you are new. BOTNS is SHILLED ENDLESSLY. Fucking fed up seeing it, even if I enjoyed the books.

any suggestion for hard sci-fi? very much like fountains of paradise or rendez-vous with rama. anything except asimov, i've already read a lot.

I think it's called The Three Body Problem by [Chinese guy] -- it's on my list.

If I've played Fallout 4, should I bother picking up Zero K by Delillo?

I bet Zero K has more choices than Fallout 4, so why not?
