@pinged I'm curious: have you read Permutation City? Barely know you but sounds like something you'd enjoy. Although Dust Theory seems to lack some mathematical rigor it surely comes closer than most theories of universe/consciousness.

I have not! But I love Greg Egan’s work and statistics of random permutations (the best source of quant interview questions!) — but will check it out (thanks for the tip!)

One of the best, agreed. Three Body Problem is all I have. Don’t know much hard sci-fi. Crystal Nights by Egan was a fun albeit short read.

Quantum Thief just got a high spot on my list 😄.

Permutation city is one of the greatest scifi books I’ve read, up there with Quantum Thief and The Three Body Problem. If you’re into this kind of thing, do you have any other suggestions?

Read this early this year after I interviewed the lead dev on Discordworld MUD for my metaverse book recommended it. So good!
