Yorgos's Reviews > Διασπορά

Ιt is not easy to rate this book, which I read in Greek translation. The book has an immense wealth of ideas, each of which could be developed into a separate book. This was amazing. Only for that, the book could be rated 5 stars.
On the other hand, the author explained extensively his ideas with scientific analyses, which are beyond the understanding of the average reader. This I guess is very fine in a hard science fiction book, with emphasis on explaining everything scientifically.

The development of characters could be better, but I guess Egan's emphasis is not on that, but rather on the ideas presented. If somebody is interested in characters, this book is not for him.

Recommended for hard SF readers with bent for science.
